Insulin resistance is the condition where your cells stop responding well to insulin, the hormone that helps move glucose (sugar) from your blood into cells for energy. Over time, this leads to higher insulin levels, higher blood sugar, and eventually, a greater risk of prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, fatty liver disease, and heart disease.
This comprehensive panel helps uncover early signs of metabolic dysfunction before overt disease develops. It is particularly useful for people who have normal blood sugar but suspect underlying insulin resistance due to family history, weight gain, fatigue, or stubborn fat loss. By combining insulin, glucose, liver enzymes, inflammatory markers, and deep lipoprotein particle analysis, this panel offers a 360-degree view of your metabolic health, which can help you intervene early and preserve your long-term health.
