Diabetes Metabolism Test

INSULIN SENSITIVITY – Insulin, as commonly known is a hormone that helps keep your blood sugar level from getting too high or too low. Glucagon is a peptide hormone that raises the concentration of glucose in the bloodstream. Glucose Homeostasis is the “balance” of insulin and glucagon so as to maintain blood glucose to anappropriate level. This panel of metabolic markers reveal the ‘imbalance’ if any, between the two, and indicates the needto improve the amino acids which may help a diabetic’s sensitivity to insulin and glucose

KEY INDICATORS

• Insulin Resistance
• Glucose Homeostasis 
• Visceral Adiposity 

BLOOD MARKERS

• Valine
• Leucine
• Phenylalanine
• Tyrosine
• 2-Aminoadipic Acid

• Glycoxylate
• Fructose
• Glycerol
• Leu
• Citrate
• 3HIB
• isoLeu
• Phe1
• Val
• Tyr1
• 2Aadipate
• Glucose

Metabolic syndrome is a group of five risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing heart disease, Having three or more of these factors will result in a diagnosis of metabolic syndrome and it will increase your risk of health complications. diabetes, and stroke.

KEY INDICATORS

• Metabolic Syndrome Risk

BLOOD MARKERS

• Leucine
• 2-Aminoadipic Acid
• Valine
• Glutamine

URINARY MARKERS

• Gln
• Glycerol
• 3HB
• Citrate
• Met
• G3P

Diabetic ketoacidosis occurs when the body cannot use sugar (glucose) as a fuel source because there is no insulin

KEY INDICATORS

• Ketoacidosis Status

URINARY MARKERS

• Pyruvate
• 2HB
• 3HB
• Lactate

A leaky gut is a situation when spaces form between the cells in the small intestinal wall allow large molecules (Eg. food, bacteria, heavy metals, toxins, and allergens) sneak through to blood stream, thereby triggering a response by body’s immune system. Type 2 Diabetes is commonly associated with poor diet and inactivity, which could be an outcome of a leaky gut. Predominance of bad types of bacteria the digestive system is called as Dysbiosis. Type 2 diabetes is almost always associated with colonic dysbiosis and it is important to check whether there is a dysbiosis situation with a diabetic.

KEY INDICATORS

• Dysbiosis Risk
• Gut Permeability 
• Intestinal Malabsorption
• Clostridia Bacterial Overgrowth
• Yeast and Fungal Infection 
• Bacterial Overgrowth

The Autonomic Nervous System has the function to regulate the ‘automatic’ functions of the body such as blood pressure, heart rate, breathing, stomach and intestinal function, bladder function and the brain function. Diabetes is known to be the most common cause of autonomic neuropathy. This panel of metabolism markers help assess the state of autonomic functions and early development of management/ treatment strategies.

KEY INDICATORS

• Nervous Systems Function (Neurpoathy) Risk

BLOOD MARKERS

• 2-Aminoadipic Acid
• beta-Alanine

URINARY MARKERS

• 4HPA
• hippurate1
• Benzonate
• PLA
• 4HPL

Diabetic cardiopathy is a disorder of the heart muscle in people with diabetes. It can lead to inability of the heart to circulate blood through the body effectively. This panel of metabolic markers helps in early diagnosis and the development of treatment strategies for diabetes-associated cardiovascular dysfunction.

KEY INDICATORS

• Cardiovascular Risk

BLOOD MARKERS

• Methionine

URINARY MARKERS

• C6
• Pyruvate
• 2HB
• myo-
• Lactate
