About This Test
Our Diabetes Risk Panel can help determine your risk of diabetes by analyzing your blood glucose, hemoglobin A1c, and total cholesterol levels. The glucose test gauges your blood sugar during testing, unveiling hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia. The hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) test indicates your average blood sugar over three months. Meanwhile, the Total Cholesterol Test evaluates your overall cholesterol by considering LDL (bad cholesterol) and HDL (good cholesterol) levels in your bloodstream.
What's Tested?
- Glucose
- Hemoglobin A1C
- Total Cholesterol - measures the total amount of cholesterol content in your blood based on your LDL (bad cholesterol) and HDL (good cholesterol) levels.
Who Should Have This Test
Our Diabetes Risk Panel is for anyone who wants to know if they are at risk of diabetes. You must be 18 years old or older to order.
How This Test is Performed
Sample collection will involve obtaining a blood sample through venipuncture, where a needle is used to draw blood from a vein.Preparing for Your Test
It is recommended to fast for 8-12 hours before the test, refraining from consuming anything except water. In the event that fasting is not feasible, your triglyceride and glucose levels might register as higher than usual. If you are currently on medication, consult your healthcare provider to determine whether you should continue taking them prior to the test.
