If you’re managing diabetes or prediabetes, routine sugar checks alone may not tell the full story. At Vitalis Health, we offer Advanced Metabolic Testing that goes far beyond the basics, helping us uncover the root causes of blood sugar imbalance, detect hidden inflammation, and prevent long-term complications before they begin.
Standard diabetes monitoring often includes just fasting blood sugar and HbA1c. While these are useful, they don’t explain why your sugars are high, how your body is responding to insulin, or what’s happening to your organs over time. That’s why we take a deeper look, using a carefully selected panel of tests that provide a 360-degree view of your metabolic health.
Our testing begins with HbA1c combined with fasting insulin, which helps us assess not just sugar levels but insulin resistance! One of the earliest and most important drivers of diabetes. Many patients have insulin resistance for years before blood sugar levels rise. Identifying it early allows us to act sooner and more effectively.
We also test for inflammation markers like high-sensitivity CRP and uric acid, which can indicate ongoing internal stress that may increase your risk for complications. Inflammation is often silent, but it plays a central role in the progression of diabetes and damage to blood vessels, nerves, and organs.
A comprehensive lipid profile and liver function panel is included to evaluate how well your body is processing fats and whether there are signs of fatty liver disease; a common but often missed condition in people with metabolic issues. We also screen your kidney function with eGFR and urine ACR tests to detect early signs of diabetic nephropathy, which can occur before symptoms appear.
To round out the picture, we offer VO2 Max testing, a powerful measure of your cardiovascular efficiency. This gives us insight into your heart and lung health, exercise tolerance, and overall physical resilience, which are especially important if you’re looking to improve your fitness safely.
All of these insights come together to create a truly personalized care plan, targeting the real drivers of your condition, not just the symptoms.
