Diabetes screening tests are performed to measure your blood Glucose and Hemoglobin A1c level. The LabSafe diabetes screening test utilizes new NMR technology for a thorough analysis of your cholesterol. This panel also checks your levels of important electrolytes such as potassium, sodium, and calcium to help understand your diabetes status. Metabolic Syndrome (also known as Syndrome X) is common in the United States and is characterized by diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. Many people who have one or two of the three parts of Metabolic Syndrome are unaware if they have the other parts until they get screened. Blood sugar testing alone can not provide enough information to understand your risk for Metabolic Syndrome as diabetes screening tests can.
As Doctor Seth Baum, one of the nation's leading Cardiologists says about the NMR LipoProfile Test:
"As an interventional Cardiologist turned preventive, my goal has evolved into one devoted to uncovering ways to help my patients live better, longer lives. From an identification and management perspective, the one tool that has unquestionably had the most widespread and profound impact on my patients is the NMR LipoProfile. I have used the LipoProfile as my exclusive test to measure and treat lipid disorders for the past six years. Having performed thousands of these analyses I can safely say that their use frequently reveals the presence of hidden but manageable lipid-related risk, which when treated diminishes the occurrence of cardiovascular events. Anecdotally, in my own cardiology practice we cannot recall the last time one of our patients experienced a heart attack. I attribute much of this clinical success to the diligent use of precise LDL particle information, something which can be found only with NMR technology. The knowledge gained from such testing has value that eclipses the standard LDL cholesterol information. My hope is that in short order enough doctors will understand the immense clinical breakthrough inherent in the NMR LipoProfile so it will become the standard for everyone rather than a bonus for the opportune."
