Diabetes Profile I plus Premium Report LIS Code: SP11PR
Comprehensive diabetes blood test assessing glucose, HbA1c, kidney, and cholesterol levels. Monitor blood sugar control and heart health for effective diabetes management.
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)
- This is a panel/test bundle name, not an individual biomarker. Recommend excluding from the clickable marker list, or replacing with the actual list of markers it contains.
- 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
Diabetes Profile
The Diabetes Profile is a detailed blood test that provides a complete assessment of metabolic health by focusing on the key factors linked to diabetes management and cardiovascular risk. It measures critical markers that evaluate blood sugar control, kidney performance, and lipid balance, offering valuable insights for early detection, diagnosis, and long-term monitoring of diabetes.
This profile includes both blood glucose and HbA1c measurements — two essential markers that reflect short-term and long-term blood sugar levels. These results help determine whether a person has diabetes, prediabetes, or how effectively existing diabetes is being controlled through treatment or lifestyle changes.
In addition to glucose regulation, this test evaluates kidney health through urea and creatinine levels. Since diabetes can strain the kidneys and increase the risk of chronic kidney disease, monitoring these parameters is essential for preventing long-term complications.
The lipid profile component assesses cholesterol and triglyceride levels to evaluate cardiovascular risk. Measuring Total Cholesterol, HDL (good cholesterol), LDL-C (bad cholesterol), Triglycerides, and the Cholesterol Risk Factor provides a clear view of heart health, which is crucial as diabetes significantly increases the likelihood of heart disease and stroke.
By combining these metabolic and cardiovascular markers, the Diabetes Profile offers a holistic picture of how diabetes affects the body and guides targeted management strategies to maintain overall health and prevent complications.
