Our Diabetic Risk Assessment report gives you the tools to accurately assess your patient’s individual diabetic risk
Learn how we can help you and your patients identify and prevent their progression toward type 2 diabetes
NOT SO FUN FACT: Not only is diabetes the fastest-growing chronic disease in the United States, it is a major factor increasing risk for cardiovascular disease, chronic kidney disease, chronic neuropathy, blindness and Alzheimer's disease.
Bad News: finding individuals at risk for diabetes requires more than monitoring blood glucose levels.
Good News: individuals can reduce their risk for developing diabetes with proper diet, physical activity, and medication as needed. Learn more about diabetes.
Our comprehensive Diabetic Risk Assessments give you the tools to accurately and quickly identify and prevent diabetic progression for your patients. Ordering an assessment takes less that 1 minute and we handle the rest including:
Enrolling your patient onto our secure portal
Gathering their personal clinical history
Coordinating for their blood assay at their local LabCorp patient service center
Producing the Diabetic Risk Assessment report for both you and them to review during your next clinical encounter
Our assessment can help you prevent progression to costly and deadly diabetes for your patients who:
Are pre-diabetic or on their way to becoming diabetic
Have a family history of diabetes
Are visibly obese or meet the body mass index (BMI) criteria of being obese

What a complete Diabetic Risk Assessment Report Includes
Our outcome proven Diabetic Risk Assessment analysis gives you and your patients an accurate personalized assessment of their individual risk of developing type 2 diabetes mellitus including:
Individual risk beyond just fasting glucose
Longitudinal tracking of responses to your clinical interventions
Additional resources to further understand the biological processes that lead to type 2 diabetes
Our analysis will help you not only understand your patients's initial risk, but will also give you the tools for monitoring their ongoing response to your professional direction.
Part 1: The patient’s baseline diabetic risk values including:
The patient’s fasting glucose
Insulin resistance through LabCorp NMR LipoProtein Insulin Resistance LP-IR biomarker
The patient’s accurate score for their 8-year risk of developing type 2 diabetes
This summary also indicates how the patient’s personal diabetic risk is modifiable through improved insulin resistance management.
Part 2: Tracking the patient’s biomarkers and risk progress over time:
An ongoing tracker that indicates the impact of clinical and behavioral interventions over the quarterly/semi-annual series of assessments that the prescriber recommends
The design visually motivates improved behavior toward a healthier risk score
The tracker becomes a working document to set goals for your next clinical encounters
Our evidence shows that seeing the series of risk values over time has a positive correlation to better health outcomes. Positive feedback drives continued behavior improvements that you and your patient can both see.
Part 3: Additional metabolic health educational resources about:
A broader understanding of diabetic risk management and factors contributing to diabetic progression
The impact of improved insulin resistance
Educational materials about how our assessment predicts diabetic risk and help the patient prevent further progression
Although “diabetes” is a scary term to most people, they often lack an understanding of what diabetes is and what it takes to prevent their own progression from healthy to pre-diabetic to diabetic. Our information changes that knowledge gap.
Part 4: LabCorp’s complete Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) LipoProfile report including:
Important lipoprotein values
Traditional cholesterol values
Triglyceride values
Fasting Glucose
Lipoprotein Insulin Resistance (LP-IR) Score
Although our report wraps significant context around the point-in-time biomarkers from LabCorp’s NMR Lipoprotein report, we know seeing the raw values is important, too.
All of our clients and their enrolled patients have 24/7 access to all of their current and past risk assessments through our easy-to-use secure portal. Downloading a completed assessment into your practice management software or chosen EMR system is as simple as 1-button download.
