Diabetes Type 2 Profile

Our Diabetes Type 2 Profile can help determine your risk of diabetes by measuring a comprehensive set of parameters. Our comprehensive test examines fasting insulin, glucose (blood sugar) levels, and hemoglobin A1c to assess your risk of diabetes.

Diabetes is a significant concern in most countries. It is a prevalent chronic condition affecting a large number of people. The incidence and prevalence of diabetes, particularly type 2 diabetes, have been increasing globally over the years. It can take a long time for symptoms of type 2 diabetes to appear. Some people may not even notice any signs of high blood sugar levels unless they get tested, as symptoms may not always be obvious.

Parameters:

Fasting insulin 

Helps evaluate your body's ability to regulate blood sugar levels. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that allows your cells to use glucose (sugar) from the food you eat as an energy source.

Glucose (fasting)

Popularly referred to as blood sugar is a simple carbohydrate that has the function of the main source of energy for cells. In diabetes mellitus, glucose cannot get into the cells and therefore its level in the blood is high.

HbA1c

Is short for glycated hemoglobin, another parameter in the metabolism of sugars in the body. The HbA1c value provides indirect information about the average blood sugar (glycaemia) level over a period of 4-6 weeks.

Homeostasis Model Assessment

HOMA index is a simple method to diagnose and assign a score to insulin resistance. insulin resistance and to assign a score.

After 12 hours of abstinence from food in the morning, the fasting insulin and fasting glucose are determined and are determined and assigned to each other. Elevated values indicate insulin resistance and risk of diabetes mellitus type 2.

• Fasting is required for 8 – 10 hours prior to do the test. No food or drink except minimal amount of water.
