The ZRT Laboratory CardioMetabolic Profile is a convenient finger-prick blood test designed to detect early warning signs of diabetes and cardiovascular disease. By measuring key markers such as insulin, cholesterol, triglycerides, HbA1c, and inflammation, it provides a comprehensive view of heart and metabolic health, supporting early intervention and personalized preventive care.

Title: Understanding CardioMetabolic Risk – A Silent Threat We Can’t Ignore The rise in cardiovascular disease (CVD), obesity, and type 2 diabetes (DM2) is one of the most pressing health concerns of our time. CVD remains the leading cause of death for both men and women in the United States. Alarmingly, obesity and insulin resistance—precursors to DM2—significantly increase the risk of developing CVD. Yet, these conditions are largely preventable with early detection and lifestyle changes. So, how can we spot the danger before it's too late? What is CardioMetabolic Risk? Cardiometabolic risk refers to a cluster of modifiable risk factors...

Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels. However, when the body becomes resistant to the effects of insulin, a condition known as insulin resistance develops. Insulin resistance is a growing concern worldwide and is closely linked to conditions like type 2 diabetes, obesity, and metabolic syndrome. In this blog, we will delve into the symptoms of insulin resistance and explore the potential of dried blood spot testing as a diagnostic tool. Additionally, we will discuss various treatment options available to manage insulin resistance effectively. Understanding Insulin Resistance: Insulin resistance...
