Why Choose the Weight Loss / GLP-1 Profile?
GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide, liraglutide, and tirzepatide are revolutionising weight loss and type 2 diabetes care by reducing appetite and enhancing blood sugar control. However, safe and effective therapy depends on careful monitoring of metabolic, liver, kidney, thyroid, and blood health.
Our Weight Loss / GLP-1 Profile test provides a full picture of your body’s internal response to these therapies—or to lifestyle changes in non-medicated weight loss—to help you and your healthcare team make the best decisions for your health journey.
Who Should Get This Test?
This profile is tailored for individuals who are:
- Using or planning GLP-1 medications for weight loss or diabetes management
- Managing obesity, pre-diabetes, or type 2 diabetes
- Starting or reviewing a weight loss programme under clinical supervision
- Experiencing unexplained fatigue, metabolic changes, or weight fluctuations
- Interested in tracking the effects of lifestyle changes on key health markers
What Does This Panel Measure?
| System | Markers Included | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Blood Sugar & Metabolism | HbA1c (average blood glucose over 2–3 months) | Tracks diabetes risk and insulin resistance |
| Liver & Pancreas Health | ALT, AST, Gamma-GT, Total Bilirubin, Amylase, Lipase | Detects liver inflammation/damage and pancreatic function |
| Kidney Function | Urea, Creatinine, Uric Acid, eGFR | Indicates renal health and filtration efficiency |
| Thyroid Function | TSH, Free Thyroxine (FT4) | Regulates metabolism and energy levels |
| Lipid Profile | Total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL, Triglycerides | Assesses cardiovascular risk and fat metabolism |
| Blood Health | Full Blood Count (FBC) + Differential counts | Identifies anemia, immune function changes, and overall blood status |
These combined markers provide an in-depth assessment of your metabolic and organ health, essential for the safe use of GLP-1 therapy and effective weight management.
