• Individuals with a family history of diabetes or heart disease: If an individual has a genetic predisposition for any of these conditions, their glucose and lipid levels should be monitored frequently.
• Individuals diagnosed with or at risk of diabetes: For those having prediabetes or managing diabetes, this package helps monitor blood sugar and long-term glucose control.
• Individuals with high cholesterol or cardiovascular concerns: People who have (or are at risk for) cardiovascular disease could benefit from regular lipid profiling to track their cardiovascular health.
• Individuals with lifestyle risk factors: People who have sedentary lifestyles, are obese or have poor dietary habits, should regularly check for diabetes and lipid imbalances.
• Men and women aged 40 and above: Age increases the risk for metabolic and cardiovascular diseases, making this package one of the best preventive screening.

What Tests are Included in Apollo Diabetes Check & Lipid Profile?

The Apollo Diabetes Check & Lipid Profile package includes a range of essential tests that assess blood sugar control, kidney function, and lipid levels to provide a comprehensive evaluation of diabetes and cardiovascular health. These include:

Test 1: Glucose, Fasting

This test measures the blood glucose levels after an overnight fast (10 to 12 hours).

Test 2: Glucose, Post Prandial (PP), 2 hours (post meal)

This test measures blood sugar levels two hours after eating to assess how the body processes glucose, aiding in the diagnosis of diabetes.

Test 3: Urea, Serum

This test measures the amount of urea nitrogen in the blood to assess kidney function and detect potential kidney-related issues or dehydration.

Test 4: Creatinine, Serum

The test provides a comprehensive overview of kidney health.

• Creatinine, serum: Measures the level of creatinine in the blood, indicating kidney function.
• eGFR - Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (Optional): eGFR estimates kidney function by measuring how well your kidneys filter waste from the blood.

Test 5: HbA1c, Glycated Haemoglobin

Measures blood sugar levels over a longer period to diagnose and monitor diabetes.

• HbA1c, Glycated Haemoglobin: Reflects average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months, used to monitor diabetes control.
• Estimated Average Glucose (EAG): A translation of HbA1c results into a value that resembles daily blood sugar readings, making it easier to understand for patients.

Test 6: Lipid Profile

The test measures cholesterol levels to assess the risk of heart disease and stroke.

• Total cholesterol: Measures the total amount of cholesterol in the bloodstream, including both HDL and LDL cholesterol.
• Triglycerides - serum: Evaluates the level of fats circulating in the bloodstream, which can indicate risk for cardiovascular disease when elevated.
• HDL cholesterol - serum: Assesses the level of "good" cholesterol that helps remove "bad" cholesterol from the bloodstream, contributing to heart health.
• Non-HDL cholesterol: Calculates the total cholesterol minus the HDL cholesterol, providing insight into overall cardiovascular risk.
• LDL cholesterol: Measures the level of "bad" cholesterol that can contribute to plaque buildup in arteries, increasing the risk of heart disease.
• VLDL cholesterol: Assesses the level of very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, which carries triglycerides and contributes to plaque formation in arteries.
• Chol / HDL ratio: Calculates the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol, offering a valuable indicator of cardiovascular risk.
• Atherogenic Index Plasma (AIP): A marker used to assess the risk of cardiovascular disease by evaluating the balance between HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels in the blood.
