Cardiometabolic Health

Tracking fasting glucose together with fasting insulin can support earlier prevention of pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes. ApoB is presented as a more accurate indicator of LDL quantity and cardiovascular risk than basic LDL measurement. Basic fasting glucose and lipid testing does not fully characterize cardiovascular risk. The Mediterranean diet is described as the most researched dietary pattern for cardiometabolic health. Heart disease is described as the leading cause of death for men and women across most racial and ethnic groups in the United States.
