Targeted diabetes screening with fasting glucose and HbA1c. HbA1c reflects average blood sugar over the past 3 months, making it more reliable than a single fasting glucose measurement for detecting pre-diabetes and monitoring glucose control. An affordable way to screen regularly if you have risk factors.

Biomarkers Tested
7A byproduct of insulin production, released in equal amounts to insulin. C-peptide measures how much insulin your pancreas is producing, helping distinguish between type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
If you have diabetes your body doesn't process glucose effectively.
A hormone produced by the pancreas that helps to control blood glucose levels and plays a role in controlling the levels of carbohydrates and fats stored in the body.
Blood sugar — the body's primary energy source. Fasting glucose screens for diabetes and prediabetes. Chronically elevated glucose damages blood vessels and organs. Levels fluctuate with meals, stress, and physical activity.
Reflects your average blood sugar over the past 2–3 months by measuring the percentage of hemoglobin with attached glucose. HbA1c is the gold standard for diagnosing and monitoring diabetes, unaffected by daily fluctuations.
Calculated score assessing insulin resistance based on fasting glucose and insulin levels.
The hormone produced by the pancreas to regulate blood sugar. Elevated fasting insulin — even with normal glucose — is an early marker of insulin resistance, which precedes type 2 diabetes by years. Key biomarker in longevity medicine.
