02 · The Metabolic Disease Epidemic

The biology fails silently — years before diagnosis.

More than 537 million adults live with diabetes globally and roughly 1 in 3 U.S. adults have prediabetes. Beta Intercept™ T2D detects active biology before traditional measures fully reflect disease progression.

Stage 04
Beta-Cell Stress

Chronic overproduction drives ER stress and mitochondrial dysfunction.

03 · What Beta Intercept™ T2D Measures

One blood draw. A complete metabolic profile.

A quantitative molecular signal of active beta-cell injury combined with the standard metabolic panel — unified by Intercept IQ™ into a single interpretable score.

Clinical Interpretation

The patient demonstrates an elevated beta-cell cfDNA signal in the setting of a rising HbA1c and compensatory hyperinsulinemia. Findings are consistent with active beta-cell injury in early Type 2 Diabetes. Consider intensifying lifestyle intervention, evaluating incretin-based therapy, and re-testing in 90 days to assess molecular response.
