Why this panel

Standard screening uses HbA1c alone and finds the problem roughly a decade after it starts. Adding fasting insulin for $10 more catches the reversible phase.

💡 What most people missYour pancreas hides this for years. Insulin resistance means your cells respond poorly, so your pancreas makes more insulin — and glucose stays perfectly normal the whole time. The compensation IS the disease. Fasting insulin sees it; HbA1c doesn't until the compensation starts failing. Run both through the HOMA-IR calculator in the Vault.
⏰ When to get it drawnFast 9–12 hours — water only, and that means no coffee with milk.

The 2 markers — and why each one is here

HbA1c (Hemoglobin A1c) $9.00
Three-month average glucose — the standard screen, and a late one
Insulin (Fasting) $10.00
Catches the compensating phase years before HbA1c moves
✓ How to read the resultsHbA1c 5.7–6.4% is prediabetes, 6.5%+ is diabetes and needs a doctor. But the more useful early signal is a rising fasting insulin with a normal glucose — that's the compensating phase, and it's the reversible one.
