Fasting Blood Sugar (FBS) and Post Prandial Blood Sugar (PPBS): Measure blood sugar levels to assess diabetes risk and control.
Hba1c: Provides a three-month average of blood sugar levels to assess long-term diabetes control.
Lipid Profile: Measures cholesterol levels to assess heart disease risk.
Liver Function Test: Assesses liver health by measuring markers like AST, ALT, and bilirubin.
