FAQ

Is OHIP covered?

HbA1c, fasting glucose, and lipids are OHIP-covered when diabetes or pre-diabetes is clinically indicated. Fasting insulin and HOMA-IR may be self-pay.

What HbA1c indicates pre-diabetes?

Diabetes Canada defines pre-diabetes as HbA1c 6.0–6.4%. Diabetes is HbA1c ≥6.5% on two occasions. Your NP will interpret your specific result.

Do I need to fast?

Yes. Fasting 10–12 hours is required for accurate glucose, insulin, and lipid results.

What if my result shows pre-diabetes?

Pre-diabetes is reversible with lifestyle changes. Your NP will provide evidence-based dietary and exercise guidance and recommend follow-up testing timelines.
