The Deitleman Weight Loss Panel is a blood test that measures several markers related to metabolism and general health. It is often ordered to help assess factors that can influence weight management or to monitor changes over time.

What it measures

  • Glucose — A sugar your body uses for energy; high levels can be linked to insulin resistance.
  • Hemoglobin A1c — Reflects average blood sugar over the past 2–3 months.
  • Thyroid-Stimulating Hormone (TSH) — Helps check thyroid function, which can affect metabolism.
  • Lipid Panel — Measures cholesterol and triglycerides, which are related to heart health.
  • C-Reactive Protein (CRP) — A marker of inflammation in the body.

Who it is for

This panel is typically ordered by a primary care clinician or weight management specialist for adults who are concerned about weight or metabolic health.

Preparation

Fasting for 8–12 hours is often required before this blood draw, but follow your clinician's specific instructions. If no fasting is needed, you can eat and drink normally.

Results and what they mean

Results are reported as numbers for each marker, often with a reference range. Your clinician will interpret them in the context of your health history. This information is not medical advice; discuss your results with a qualified healthcare professional.
