Parameters tested

Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c)

HbA1c measures average blood sugar levels over the last 3 months. This test can be used to help diagnose diabetes or pre-diabetes and can also be used to monitor the disease diabetes.

Triglycerides

Triglycerides are a type of lipid found in the blood and form part of total cholesterol levels. When we consume more calories than we expend, the excess is converted into triglycerides and stored in our bodies in the form of fat.

Cholesterol

Cholesterol helps our bodies produce hormones, Vitamin D and bile (which is important for digesting the food we eat). If levels are too high, there may be an increased risk of heart disease.

LDL

Commonly referred to as bad cholesterol, LDL is essential for our health. At high levels, LDL can cause fatty deposits to build up inside the artery walls and potentially lead to atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. 

HDL

HDL cholesterol is a high-density lipoprotein that is produced in the liver and is part of total cholesterol. HDL helps to remove LDL (bad cholesterol) from the bloodstream and send it back to the liver.
