The Integra Nutritionals® nutrigenomic approach is much less reliant on traditional disease-based markers and much more focused on nutrient-based and metabolic markers. For this reason, the tests selected here provide valuable information to assist the clinician in monitoring the status of relevant key markers.
The tests are convenient for both the clinician and the patient who may self-collect the sample if the consultation is not face-to-face. With their rapid turnaround time from sampling to results, the blood spot tests are an ideal
way for a clinician to measure a patient’s response to treatment.
What are the benefits?
We have chosen tests which give very good representation of your patient’s diet and lifestyle over a period of
time and are ideal to test before, during and following treatment.
• Enhanced patient monitoring
• Ability to incorporate test reviews into appointment schedule
• Better patient compliance
• Enable individualised treatment
The management of blood glucose levels forms the basis for cardiometabolic health. A major advantage of HbA1c over a fasting blood glucose is that the test virtually
‘averages’ the regular glucose fluctuations over many weeks or months.
Testing HbA1C at appropriate intervals has many advantages including:
• Monitoring patient dietary compliance over time
• Avoidance of the inconsistencies of fasted sampling
• Clinicians can readily modify diet and exercise advice
• Comparatively low patient cost, improving compliance and likelihood of continuity of treatment
Elevated HbA1c can be reduced and managed through diet and lifestyle modifications and is typically tested every 12 weeks.
