YOUR HEALTH. A MORE INFORMED VIEW.
Fasting glucose, HbA1c and fasting insulin in one focused metabolic profile.
CLINICAL AUTHORDr Nirupama SabhapathySpecialist Clinical Pathology
THE PURPOSE BEHIND THE PANEL.
Insulin adds information about the hormonal response associated with glucose regulation. It needs the fasting state, glucose result and clinical question alongside it. The package can support a clinician-led assessment but should not turn a single insulin result into a stand-alone label.
3tests & panels3 included tests and panels
Glucose reports the concentration at collection. Where included, HbA1c adds a longer-term view; insulin or C-peptide adds information about insulin production and the sampling context.
Only the tests listed below are included. Fasting and non-fasting measurements answer different questions; HbA1c can be affected by some blood-cell conditions.
KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE CHOOSING.
The headline measurement count includes multi-component panels where present. The included test records and their published nested measurements are displayed separately so the count is transparent.

Measures blood glucose after the instructed fast. It differs from HbA1c and may require clinical follow-up or confirmation.

Read the test guideMeasures insulin after the instructed fast, alongside glucose and the clinical context. One result is not a complete diagnosis of insulin resistance.

THE RIGHT START DEPENDS ON YOU.
Choose the investigation around the question you want to discuss. The panel does not by itself diagnose insulin resistance or identify every cause of high or low glucose.
Insulin adds information about the hormonal response associated with glucose regulation. It needs the fasting state, glucose result and clinical question alongside it. The package can support a clinician-led assessment but should not turn a single insulin result into a stand-alone label.
Compare the full included list with your clinician’s request. The panel does not by itself diagnose insulin resistance or identify every cause of high or low glucose.
Bring earlier results and the relevant symptom or treatment history. The clinician can decide whether this scope, a smaller test selection or a different investigation is the most useful next step.

FROM BOOKING TO UNDERSTANDING.
Follow Diabetics Profile with Insulin from your care bag to an informed conversation.
The right package. The right person.
Add Diabetics Profile with Insulin to your care bag. Book for yourself or assign the package to someone else. The care team can help match the selection to a request or prescription.
Preparation follows the test.
Confirm the instructions for blood and the appropriate collection arrangements. Correct identification, specimen choice and timing support a useful result.
Laboratory work, behind the finding.
Intel Lab processes the sample and checks the report. The package lists 24 hours; collection timing and any additional laboratory checks may affect release.
A finding, placed in your context.
Read the report with the reason for testing. A clinician can explain unexpected findings, relevant limitations and whether any further assessment is appropriate.
MORE THAN A LIST OF NUMBERS.
Your report brings the measurements together. Explore the findings below to see which questions make the report more meaningful.
UNDERSTANDING YOUR REPORTBlood
The result describes the sample that was tested. Preparation, timing and the measurement method help explain its context.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR REPORTBlood
The result describes the sample that was tested. Preparation, timing and the measurement method help explain its context.
COLLECTION + RESULT
Share the reason for testing, diabetes or pregnancy where relevant, medicines, supplements and any difficulty with collection or fasting. This package includes a fasting measurement. Confirm the required fasting duration and any personal medicine instructions with the team before collection. Plain water is usually permitted when fasting is requested.
THE NEXT STEP IS PERSONAL.
Connect the laboratory findings with the reason for this specific test. A report supports the next clinical conversation; it does not decide it for you.
Discuss glucose and HbA1c together, including how the sample was prepared. Where insulin is included, its interpretation also needs glucose and clinical context. A clinician decides on confirmation or monitoring.
Discuss this result with a clinician who knows the reason for testing. Further investigations or follow-up depend on the actual findings and your circumstances.
THE LABORATORY BEHIND YOUR RESULTS.
Intelligent Care brings the collection to you. Intel Lab brings the laboratory pathway, from sample handling to reporting.
Accurate patient details, the correct specimen and clear collection instructions are the first part of a reliable laboratory pathway. Follow the collection team’s instructions for the specimens required by this panel.
The laboratory’s analytical work and quality processes support the measurements in the report. Explore the laboratory’s published quality standards and accreditation scope for the detail behind its services.
Reporting connects the laboratory findings with their clinical use. Unexpected or significant results may need additional checks or communication with the referring clinician.

BEFORE YOU BOOK.
Preparation, sample types, timing and what the package does—and does not—include.
Fasting glucose, HbA1c and fasting insulin in one focused metabolic profile. The full named inventory on this page is the scope of the package.
It adds a measurement of circulating insulin under fasting conditions. Your clinician considers it with glucose, HbA1c, medicines and the wider assessment.
HbA1c itself does not require fasting, but this package includes fasting glucose, so follow the package’s collection instructions.
Yes. Certain blood-cell conditions and other factors can affect it. The clinician may prefer or add a different assessment when needed.
Not always. The clinical situation and the appropriate confirmation pathway determine what happens next.
This package includes a fasting measurement. Confirm the required fasting duration and any personal medicine instructions with the team before collection. Plain water is usually permitted when fasting is requested.
Yes. Choose home collection across Dubai or a visit to Intel Lab in Deira. Any health package waives the collection fee for its own visit; separate appointments are assessed separately.
The package price is AED 129; the listed turnaround is 24 hours. Confirm collection and processing arrangements with the team. Turnaround is not a guarantee that every result will be released at one exact time.
Review relevant findings with a qualified clinician alongside the reason for testing, symptoms, medicines and prior results. The report may lead to reassurance about the tested question, confirmation, a targeted investigation or follow-up—not an automatic treatment decision.
