Comprehensive blood test to assess insulin resistance risk.

Additional Information

This Insulin Resistance Test Panel measures insulin and C-peptide levels in your blood to assess your risk of insulin resistance. Insulin resistance (IR) is an underlying condition when your body does not respond to insulin, causing high blood sugar levels. If insulin resistance is not identified early, it may lead to many serious health issues like prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, CVD, stroke, and more. This panel also provides a calculated score based on the insulin and C-peptide values, which is associated with a probability of insulin resistance. The panel and score help identify hidden metabolic risk, even when HbA1c and glucose (blood sugar) levels are normal. A higher score can indicate a higher risk of insulin resistance or developing a serious health issue. Knowing your risk may help you and your healthcare provider identify these issues before they become problematic.

Biomarkers Tested (3)

Insulin (µU/mL)
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps regulate blood sugar levels. Abnormal levels can indicate diabetes or insulin resistance.
C-Peptide (ng/mL)
Produced in the pancreas simultaneously with insulin; a good indicator of insulin production. High levels with high insulin may indicate insulin resistance.
Insulin (µU/mL)
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps regulate blood sugar levels. Abnormal levels can indicate diabetes or insulin resistance.
