Comprehensive blood test to check for diabetes and prediabetes.
Diabetes is a major problem worldwide. Unhealthy diets and sedentary lifestyles have increased diabetes rates. High blood sugar damages nerves, kidneys, and eyes, increasing cardiovascular disease risk. Early detection allows lifestyle changes and treatment to prevent these problems. Prediabetes detection enables changes before the disease develops. This test checks for diabetes and prediabetes (impaired fasting glucose).

What's Included
Preparation Required
No fasting required for HbA1c alone. You may eat and drink normally beforehand.
Biomarkers Tested
3Reflects 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.
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.
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.
