Almost all checkups do a lipid panel. You just have to look at your triglycerides and your HDL, take the ratio of them TG over HDL. You want that to be less than two, and for bonus points you want that to be less than one. Anything above two you have room for improvement. This ratio is a fairly good analog for insulin sensitivity and metabolic health.

Signs of poor metabolic health:

obesity
high blood pressure
Ed
snoring
fatty liver
skin tags
diabetes
