Complete diabetes screening with HbA1c, fasting glucose, insulin, and kidney function markers.
Diabetes and metabolic screening tests measure how well your body processes glucose — your primary fuel source. Fasting glucose gives a snapshot of your blood sugar after an overnight fast, while HbA1c reveals your average blood sugar over the past 2–3 months by measuring the percentage of hemoglobin proteins coated with sugar. An insulin test can detect insulin resistance — where your cells stop responding efficiently to insulin — often years before blood sugar levels rise into the diabetic range. This early detection window is critical because prediabetes and insulin resistance are reversible with lifestyle changes, while advanced type 2 diabetes requires lifelong management.
Key Details

What's Included
Preparation Required
Fasting for 10–12 hours before your appointment is recommended for accurate results (water is fine). Avoid alcohol for 24 hours and intense exercise for 12 hours before the blood draw.
