About this test

If you're concerned about prediabetes, weight gain, or how your body processes sugar, this test helps assess insulin resistance. Insulin resistance occurs when your body struggles to use insulin effectively, increasing the risk of type 2 diabetes and metabolic disorders. This test is useful if you've got risk factors like a family history of diabetes, PCOS, or difficulty losing weight.

You'll need to visit Inuvi Clinic in London to collect your sample as the sample is not suitable for posting.
