The Pre-Diabetes Panel provides the most thorough assessment of blood sugar regulation and diabetes risk available. A1c gives your 2–3 month average. Fasting glucose offers a current snapshot. Fasting insulin detects insulin resistance years before glucose rises. C-Peptide measures actual pancreatic insulin output. The Lipid Panel evaluates the cardiovascular risk that often accompanies insulin resistance. This panel catches metabolic dysfunction at its earliest, most reversible stage.
Prediabetes confirmation + monitoring: A1c, Fasting Glucose, Fasting Insulin, C-Peptide, Lipid Panel. Catches insulin resistance, pancreatic reserve, and the dyslipidemia that drive prediabetes progression to type 2 diabetes.
Anyone with a recent borderline A1c (5.7-6.4%) or fasting glucose 100-125, family history of T2D with risk factors, women with prior gestational diabetes, anyone with PCOS, or those starting lifestyle interventions wanting to track progress.
