The Insulin Resistance Panel offers one of the most comprehensive views of your metabolic health, combining markers of blood sugar control, insulin signaling, inflammation, liver function, and cholesterol particle dynamics. It goes far beyond standard glucose or A1c testing by including advanced tools like HOMA-IR and TyG Index—each offering deeper insight into how efficiently your body responds to insulin and whether metabolic dysfunction is emerging. Paired with key lipid and liver enzymes, this panel helps identify warning signs of insulin resistance, prediabetes, and cardiometabolic disease before they become more serious.
This test is especially valuable for individuals with a family history of diabetes, unexplained weight gain, belly fat, fatigue after meals, or elevated cholesterol. It’s also critical for those with PCOS or signs of fatty liver. Because insulin resistance often develops silently over years, identifying it early can help you take targeted steps—through lifestyle changes, medication, or supplements—to reverse the trend and significantly reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and other long-term complications.
