Managing your blood sugar and understanding your risk for diabetes is critical for millions of Americans just like you. So it shouldn’t be complicated—or expensive. Thankfully, a powerful new option gives you greater control of your health. The Diabetes #1 Baseline Blood Test Panel provides a simple, affordable way to check key markers related to diabetes, kidney, and liver health—all without needing insurance.
With so many options for testing, it’s natural to be confused when choosing the “best” diabetes blood test for your needs. While some experts insist the core Hemoglobal A1C test is the gold standard for monitoring and controlling long-term blood sugar, many others recommend much more comprehensive blood testing. That’s where our Diabetes #1 Baseline Blood Test Panel enters the discussion. This test provides a more complete picture of your overall health by adding two crucial tests to the A1C panel, checking your kidney function and your liver health at the same time.
What This Test Measures:
Comprehensive Metabolic Panel (CMP-14) with eGFR – This test checks your glucose levels, kidney function (BUN, creatinine, eGFR), liver health (protein, albumin, bilirubin, and liver enzymes like AST and ALT), and electrolyte balance (sodium, potassium, and calcium). It helps identify early signs of diabetes-related organ damage.
Hemoglobin A1C – This test measures your average blood sugar levels over the past 2-3 months. It’s an essential tool for monitoring diabetes and assessing how well your blood sugar is being managed.
Complete Blood Count (CBC) with Differential and Platelets – This test provides a detailed breakdown of your red and white blood cells, helping to detect issues such as anemia, infections, and overall blood health. It also measures important markers like white blood cell count (for infections), hemoglobin (for oxygen transport), and platelets (for clotting).
