What's included in this profile
- Total cholesterol divided by HDL cholesterol
- A widely used singlefigure measure of cardiovascular risk
- Lower ratios are generally more favourable
- A waste product from normal muscle breakdown, filtered by the kidneys
- Raised levels can indicate reduced kidney function
- Used to calculate eGFR (estimated kidney filtration rate)
- The main sugar circulating in the blood, used for energy
- Raised fasting levels can indicate prediabetes or diabetes
- A cornerstone test for metabolic health
- Often called 'good' cholesterol
- Helps remove excess cholesterol from the bloodstream
- Higher levels are generally protective for heart health
- Reflects average blood sugar levels over the past 23 months
- The main test used to diagnose and monitor diabetes
- Not affected by what you ate that day, unlike glucose
- Often called 'bad' cholesterol
- Can build up in artery walls, raising heart disease risk
- A key target for lifestyle or treatment intervention
- The overall amount of cholesterol in the blood
- A key marker for cardiovascular risk
- Interpreted alongside HDL, LDL and triglycerides
- A type of fat found in the blood, from food and the liver
- Raised levels are linked to heart disease and metabolic conditions
- Affected by diet, alcohol and blood sugar control
- A waste product from protein breakdown, filtered by the kidneys
- Raised levels can indicate reduced kidney function or dehydration
- Interpreted alongside creatinine for a fuller picture
About this profile
The Diabetes Profile is an in-depth blood test designed to evaluate your metabolic health, focusing on essential markers related to diabetes management and cardiovascular risk. This test provides a comprehensive assessment of blood sugar control, kidney function, and lipid levels, which are all crucial for individuals with diabetes or those at risk of developing the condition.
The profile includes the following key markers:
Glucose – Measures your current blood sugar levels, offering insights into short-term blood sugar control.
Glycated Hemoglobin (HbA1c) – Provides an overview of your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months, essential for diagnosing diabetes and monitoring long-term blood sugar control.
Urea – Assesses kidney function, as high urea levels may indicate impaired kidney health, a common concern for individuals with diabetes.
Creatinine – Another important marker for kidney function, helping detect potential kidney damage or dysfunction caused by diabetes.
Cholesterol Total – Provides an overall measure of your cholesterol levels, important for assessing cardiovascular risk.
Triglycerides – Measures the fat levels in your blood, which can be elevated in individuals with diabetes and increase the risk of heart disease.
High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL Cholesterol) – Known as "good cholesterol," high levels of HDL help reduce cardiovascular risk by removing excess cholesterol from the bloodstream.
Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL Cholesterol) – Referred to as "bad cholesterol," elevated levels of LDL can lead to the buildup of plaque in your arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease.
Cholesterol Risk Factor – This marker combines your total cholesterol, HDL, and LDL levels to provide a clear indication of your overall cardiovascular risk.
Together, these markers offer a detailed picture of how well your diabetes is being managed and highlight potential health risks, particularly in relation to kidney function and cardiovascular health. Regular monitoring of these key indicators helps healthcare providers make informed decisions about treatment, lifestyle modifications, and preventive care. This profile is essential for anyone managing diabetes or aiming to lower their risk of developing the condition.
