Complete Metabolic Health Panel - Comprehensive Metabolic Assessment

This comprehensive panel evaluates all aspects of metabolic health: organ function, cholesterol, blood sugar, insulin resistance, and inflammation - the key drivers of chronic disease.

Metabolic health is the foundation of long-term wellness. This panel provides a complete picture of your metabolism, covering:

• Comprehensive Metabolic Panel - Organ function, electrolytes, kidney and liver health • Lipid Panel - Cholesterol and triglycerides for heart disease risk • HbA1c - 2-3 month average blood sugar • Fasting Insulin - Early detector of insulin resistance • hs-CRP - Inflammation marker linked to heart disease

Together, these markers can detect metabolic syndrome - a cluster of conditions that dramatically increases risk of heart disease, diabetes, and stroke.

Fasting Required

One or more tests in this panel require fasting for accurate results:

  • Do not eat or drink anything except water for 8-12 hours before your blood draw.
  • Water is allowed and encouraged - stay hydrated!
  • Schedule your lab visit in the morning for convenience.

What This Panel Measures

This panel measures over 25 biomarkers: 14 metabolic markers (glucose, electrolytes, kidney/liver function), 5 lipid markers (cholesterol, triglycerides), HbA1c (blood sugar average), fasting insulin (insulin resistance), and hs-CRP (inflammation). It provides a comprehensive view of metabolic function.

Who Should Get This Panel

Adults concerned about metabolic health, those with weight issues, family history of diabetes or heart disease, people with elevated blood pressure, anyone wanting to assess insulin resistance, and those interested in optimizing metabolic function.

When to Get Tested

Fasting for 9-12 hours is required for accurate insulin and lipid results. Schedule for morning and drink only water during the fast. Ideal for annual metabolic health screening.

Understanding Your Results

You'll receive a comprehensive metabolic report. Key targets: fasting glucose <100, HbA1c <5.7%, fasting insulin <10, triglycerides <150, hs-CRP <1.0 mg/L. Elevated insulin is often the earliest sign of metabolic problems - even before blood sugar rises.

Insulin Resitance Panel

Insulin resistance often develops silently—long before blood sugar levels appear abnormal on routine tests. The Insulin Resistance Panel is designed to detect early metabolic dysfunction by evaluating how your body produces and responds to insulin, not just your glucose levels alone. By combining HbA1c, fasting glucose, fasting insulin, C-peptide, and a Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP), this panel provides a deeper, more accurate picture of insulin sensitivity and metabolic health. C-peptide adds an important layer of insight by showing how much insulin your pancreas is actually producing, helping distinguish between insulin resistance, early beta-cell stress, and other metabolic patterns that glucose testing alone can miss. This panel is ideal for individuals experiencing unexplained weight gain, fatigue, sugar cravings, or difficulty losing weight, as well as those with a family history of diabetes, metabolic syndrome, or cardiovascular risk. Identifying insulin resistance early allows for timely lifestyle or medical interventions and may help prevent progression to prediabetes or type 2 diabetes. Testing is completed at Quest Diagnostics locations nationwide, with fast, reliable results to help you take a proactive step toward better metabolic health.
