Diabetes Care Panel

Focused

The Diabetes Care Panel is designed for both diabetes screening and ongoing management, going beyond simple blood sugar testing to evaluate insulin production, long-term glucose control, kidney health, and cardiovascular risk.

2What Your Body May Be Telling You

These symptoms are your body's distress signals that blood sugar regulation has gone off track. Constant thirst and frequent urination happen because excess glucose in your blood pulls water from your tissues. Blurry vision occurs when high blood sugar causes the lens of your eye to swell. Slow wound healing and tingling in your extremities are signs that elevated glucose has started damaging small blood vessels and nerves. But here is the critical thing most people do not know: by the time these symptoms show up, the problem has usually been developing for years. Insulin resistance -- where your body needs more and more insulin to control blood sugar -- can be present for a decade before your glucose numbers look abnormal on a standard test. That is why this panel includes fasting insulin and C-peptide alongside glucose and A1c. It catches the problem at its earliest, most treatable stage.
