Find out your own insulin resistance level to prevent chronic disease
The underlying cause of many chronic illnesses we see today is poor metabolic health. This is when converting food into energy in our body results in unstable blood sugar levels, excess fat storage and harmful oxidation. It is estimated that a significant portion of the UK population already has poor metabolic health, which could lead to diseases like:
Type 2 Diabetes
Cardiovascular disease
Alzheimer’s disease
Certain cancers
Mental health issues, and many more chronic conditions.
These diseases are generally not identified until symptoms are being experienced which could be decades from now. Yet the signs of poor metabolic health are present in our body today - a key marker is how resistant you are to the hormone ‘insulin’.
A Kraft test can tell you with certainty how ‘insulin resistant’ you are right now, using a sophisticated technique developed by Joseph Kraft during the early 1970s to mid-1990s. With this insight, you can improve your quality of life today and stop the formation of chronic illnesses in the future, through simple lifestyle changes.
It is not possible to get a Kraft test elsewhere, or any type of insulin test on the NHS, so take control of your health today, and Kraft your own longevity.
The Science
Measuring insulin response using Meterbolic® Kraft and Kraft baseline tests can predict diabetes risk up to 20 years before onset
Did you know that you can predict your risk of major chronic diseases before they strike? With Meterbolic's ground breaking tests, you can measure your insulin response and take control of your health journey.
Be present for all of life's most important moments—start your journey to better health today!
Kraft Baseline
The Kraft Baseline test assesses fasting insulin levels, blood glucose, lipid profile and other markers to provide valuable insights into metabolic health. Insulin is crucial for regulating blood sugar levels, and its response patterns can serve as early indicators of chronic disease risk. The test detects hyperinsulinemia—a condition linked to diabetes, hypertension, and other health issues. Dr. Joseph Kraft referred to this as "occult diabetes."
Kraft Test
The Kraft Test offers a comprehensive analysis of insulin behavior through an Oral Glucose Tolerance Test (OGTT). During this test, insulin levels are measured after consuming a glucose drink while fasting, providing detailed insights over a three-hour period.
