Metabolic Health Panel
How your body handles sugar, fat and energy — the markers that matter for diabetes risk, weight, and long-term metabolic health.
One-time payment of A$149. GST included. No subscription.
What this panel measures
- HbA1c: Average blood sugar over the last 3 months.
- Fasting Glucose: Blood sugar at the time of the test.
- Fasting Insulin: Pancreas output — a key insulin-resistance signal.
- Total Cholesterol: Total circulating cholesterol.
- HDL Cholesterol: The 'protective' cholesterol fraction.
- LDL Cholesterol: The atherogenic cholesterol fraction.
- Triglycerides: Circulating fats; reflect recent diet and metabolism.

Frequently asked questions
Why fasting?
Glucose, insulin, and triglycerides change rapidly after meals. Fasting gives a stable baseline.
HbA1c isn't a one-day reading?
Right. HbA1c reflects your average blood sugar over ~3 months, so it's not affected by one meal.
I do intermittent fasting — does that affect results?
It can. Test in your usual fasting window for consistency, but tell your doctor about your eating pattern.

Guides
- Private blood test cost — Private blood tests in Australia range from $35 for single biomarkers up to $500+ for comprehensive panels. What you're paying for, what drives the cost, and when private testing is worth it.
- Heart markers beyond cholesterol — A standard cholesterol test covers four numbers. Markers like ApoB, lipoprotein(a), homocysteine and hs-CRP give a fuller picture of cardiovascular risk — and most people have never had them measured.
