IR (insulin resistance) screening test

IR (insulin resistance) screening test

One of the most serious diseases affecting many people today is diabetes, and what is also known as its “precursor”, insulin resistance. The Hungarian figures for this group of diseases are extremely poor. After the United States, Hungary has the highest risk of developing this type of disease, with a general lack of nutrients. A number of risk factors, dietary and lifestyle behavioural errors may further increase the risk of developing the disease.

The sooner we tackle the problem, the greater the chance of avoiding either the development of a more serious disease or the use of medication or injections.

This package of screening tests (and therapy) is aimed primarily at people with insulin resistance and those with a family history of type II diabetes or insulin resistance (so they are more likely to develop it).

The elements of the screening test have been selected to focus primarily on sugar metabolism, but also to provide a steer towards change. Diet and the micronutrients that are increasingly lacking in these cases are highlighted in this package.

The screening also pays particular attention to the balance of our mind and nervous system, which can also be a very important factor in IR.

The screening test consists of 4 elements:

EIS (Electro Interstitial Scan) – Examination of the interstitial space

The method provides a unique way to obtain information about the state of the extracellular and intracellular spaces and the physiological processes taking place in them. The instrument allows you to get a picture of the current state of your body in a three-minute procedure.
For example, it provides information on the functional status of the heart, kidneys, lungs, liver, pancreas, digestion, brain or even the nervous system. You can also get an overview of hormone levels, oxidative stress, blood gas levels and the acid-base balance of the body, as well as possible risk factors.

Non-invasive blood analysis

The device covers a spectrum of tests far beyond the usual laboratory parameters (urine blood count) and provides results that help to interpret basic parameters and understand actual physiological processes. The thermometric method is used to test living blood using electrodes placed at biologically active points in the body. The test looks at liver and digestive enzymes, blood supply to various organs, some hormone levels, blood shape elements, blood gas parameters, kidney function, lung and circulatory indicators, among others.

Pulse diagnostics

The test measures the general state of the biorhythm (nervous system) during 300 ECG beats.

It also gives a picture of:

• about the biological age of your body,
• our daily energy levels,
• energy production and use,
• fluid balance,
• the digestion-absorption ratio,
• sleep quality, stress levels,
• and the body’s ability to adapt to stress.

The regulation of the autonomic rhythm determines, for example, the efficiency and functioning of digestion, but it also determines the rhythm of all our organ systems and coordinates their functioning.
The method is very useful in everyday life, even for a quick analysis of current challenges and life situations. It is possible to see how these influences affect our own internal rhythms.
It can also be useful in the rehabilitation period after a possible sports injury, when physiotherapy, corrective or drug treatment is applied, its effects can be followed in progress.

Body composition analysis
BodyPedia’s DSM-BIA and SMFIM technology generates reports based on more than 40 different body composition parameters – providing the most comprehensive personal health data available. It uses multiple, different frequencies to measure intracellular and extracellular fluids, providing accurate body fluid analysis. BodyPedia measures all five cylinders of the body (left/right arm, torso, left/right leg) to provide accurate and detailed results. It processes the data using a unique modelling algorithm.

Dietary consultation and summary

An important part of a healthy lifestyle and diabetes prevention is a healthy and conscious diet. Our dietitian, Eva Király, will help you.

During the consultation, the patient’s eating habits are evaluated (diet diary, if available). The basic rules of the diet, the raw material groups to be chosen and avoided, and cooking techniques are discussed in detail with the dietician. The practical application of the advice given is supplemented by written information leaflets and guides, and recipes and sample menus are provided on request.

These are followed by a summary of the results and the preparation of a personalised guide, including suggestions for further action.

By the end of the screening, the patient will be aware of the changes needed to minimise the risk of insulin resistance.

They will be given all the advice and suggestions they need to be able to make changes and modifications to avoid the disease.

And those who are already ill will be given all the help they need to stop their condition from getting worse and, in some cases, to reverse it.
