Mnemonic: DIAB RISK

Methodology: Immunoassay/Enzymatic/High Performance Liquid Chromatography
Performed: Varies
Reported: 7-10 days
Specimen Required: Patient Prep: Patient must be 18 years of age or older. Patient should fast for at least 10 hours prior to collection.

Collect: Serum separator tube AND lavender (EDTA). Serum separator tube should be collected before EDTA tube. ARUP Standard Transport Tube should be frozen prior to collection.

Specimen Preparation: Serum: Gently invert 5 times following collection; allow specimen to clot at least 30-40 minutes (not more than 60) in a vertical position at room temperature. Centrifuge for 15-20 minutes between 1100 g and 1300 g. Transfer 3 mL serum to a FROZEN ARUP Standard Transport Tube and freeze immediately. (Min: 1 mL)
EDTA Whole Blood: Gently invert 8-10 times following collection. Transfer 3 mL whole blood to a FROZEN ARUP Standard Transport Tube and freeze immediately. (Min: 1 mL)

Storage/Transport Temperature: CRITICAL FROZEN. Separate specimens must be submitted when multiple tests are ordered.

Unacceptable Conditions: Hemolyzed specimens. Specimens from patients less than 18 years of age.

Stability (collection to initiation of testing): Ambient: Unacceptable; Refrigerated: Unacceptable; Frozen: 1 week
Reference Interval:
By report
Note: Component results for glucose, HbA1c, insulin, hsCRP, ferritin, adiponectin, interleukin 2 receptor alpha (IL2Ra) are used in the diabetes risk score calculation.
