Detect early insulin resistance and take control of your metabolic health.
Our Insulin Resistance Blood Test helps you understand how your body manages blood sugar and insulin levels. By analysing key biomarkers, it can detect early signs of insulin resistance, a major risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Gain valuable insights to support better energy, weight management, and long-term health.
Designed to measure how effectively your body processes glucose and insulin. By analysing four key biomarkers, this test helps detect insulin resistance:
Description
Glucose – Random measures the amount of sugar (glucose) in your blood at any given time, regardless of when you last ate. It helps assess how well your body is managing blood sugar levels throughout the day. Elevated readings may indicate issues such as insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, or diabetes.
Description
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps regulate blood sugar by allowing glucose to enter your cells for energy. Measuring insulin levels provides insight into how effectively your body is producing and using this hormone. Abnormal levels may indicate insulin resistance, pre diabetes, or metabolic imbalance.
Description
The Fasting Insulin Resistance Index (HOMA-IR) is a calculation that shows how well your body responds to insulin after fasting. It uses your fasting glucose and insulin levels to estimate how resistant your cells are to insulin. A higher result suggests your body is struggling to regulate blood sugar effectively — an early indicator of insulin resistance and potential type 2 diabetes risk.
Description
Insulin – Fasting measures the level of insulin in your blood after a period without eating, usually 8–12 hours. This test helps assess how your body maintains blood sugar balance when not influenced by recent meals. Elevated fasting insulin levels can indicate insulin resistance or an early stage of metabolic dysfunction.
The Insulin Resistance Blood Test assesses your body’s ability to manage blood sugar and insulin levels, crucial for energy, weight, and overall health. By analysing specific biomarkers, it reveals if your body is becoming resistant to insulin, requiring more insulin to control blood sugar. This resistance often develops gradually and may not cause symptoms initially, making early detection vital for prevention.
Understanding your results empowers you to take proactive steps towards better health. Identifying insulin resistance early allows you to make targeted lifestyle changes, such as diet adjustments, increased physical activity, improved sleep, and stress management. These interventions restore insulin sensitivity, prevent type 2 diabetes, and reduce the risk of weight gain, fatigue, and cardiovascular disease.
