Description: Establish your metabolic foundation and monitor blood sugar health with our Diabetes Baseline Package. This foundational blood panel screens for prediabetes and type 2 diabetes while evaluating your overall organ function, electrolyte balance, and cellular health. It serves as an essential baseline for anyone tracking metabolic health, managing blood sugar risks, or starting a preventative wellness plan.
Diabetes and prediabetes develop silently, often causing no noticeable symptoms for years. Early detection is critical to reversing or managing metabolic damage. By combining a long-term blood sugar marker with comprehensive organ and cellular health checks, this panel gives you a complete, clear snapshot of how your body is processing energy and maintaining internal balance.

What's Included:
- Hemoglobin A1C (HbA1c): The gold standard for diabetes screening. It measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2 to 3 months to identify prediabetes, track type 2 diabetes, or monitor glycemic management.
- Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP): A 14-test snapshot of your body's chemical balance. It evaluates liver and kidney function, blood sugar at the exact moment of the draw, and essential electrolyte and fluid levels.
- Complete Blood Count (CBC): A comprehensive evaluation of your blood cells. It checks your white blood cells, red blood cells, and platelets to screen for anemia, immune function, and underlying signs of infection or inflammation.
