Glucose & Lipid Test: Your Metabolic Health Blueprint
Comprehensive Cardiovascular and Diabetes Risk Assessment
Our Glucose & Lipid Test provides a complete evaluation of your metabolic health, measuring fasting blood sugar, HbA1c, cholesterol (total, HDL, LDL), and triglycerides to assess your risk for diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. This advanced panel goes beyond basic testing by analyzing atherogenic particle size, insulin resistance markers, and inflammatory indicators that standard cholesterol tests often miss.
Why Test Glucose and Lipids?
✔ Unexplained fatigue or energy crashes
✔ Weight gain resistant to diet/exercise
✔ Family history of diabetes or heart disease
✔ High blood pressure or central obesity
✔ Frequent thirst/hunger or slow wound healing
✔ Preventive health screening after age 35
Personalized Metabolic Evaluation
At XTRA MEDICAL KLINIK LTD, our cardiometabolic specialists:
Measure LDL particle number (more accurate than standard LDL)
Assess insulin sensitivity (HOMA-IR index)
Evaluate inflammatory markers (hs-CRP) linked to plaque formation
Provide lifestyle and treatment strategies tailored to your results
Your arteries don’t lie. Discover hidden risks before symptoms appear.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in the advanced panel?
Our Cardiometabolic Risk Profile checks:
Glucose metabolism: Fasting glucose, HbA1c, insulin
Lipid profile: Total cholesterol, HDL, LDL (direct), triglycerides
Advanced markers: LDL particle number, apoB, LP(a)
Inflammation: hs-CRP, homocysteine
How is this better than standard cholesterol tests?
Identifies small dense LDL (most dangerous type)
🔹 Measures actual insulin resistance (not just glucose)
🔹 Detects genetic risks like LP(a)
🔹 Assesses vascular inflammation
Do I need to prepare for the test?
12-hour fast (water only)
Avoid alcohol for 48 hours
No vigorous exercise 24 hours prior
Morning testing recommended
