|---|---|---|---|---|
Before the blood draw
- Confirm the minimum fasting length with the lab before the draw
- Note any statin, hormone therapy or supplement use on the day of the test
- Note any alcohol intake in the three days before the draw
- Note any recent illness or steroid use to mention at the visit
- Bring the lab order and your current medicine list
- Write down the lab's reported LP-IR cutoff for insulin resistance
Questions for my prescriber or pharmacist
- Which LP-IR score range does my lab label as insulin resistant?
- Which target range are you using to guide my next step?
- Should I repeat this test under the same fasting conditions?
- When should I schedule my next NMR lipid panel?
- Does my current statin or hormone therapy change how I should read this result?
- Would fasting insulin or a liver enzyme panel add useful context?
- Is this test covered by my plan, and does it need prior authorization?
- What change in score would make you adjust my treatment plan?
