Insulin Blood Test

Insulin Blood Test helps track insulin levels in the blood and can help assess insulin resistance.

The lack of insulin causes the level of sugar in your blood to become abnormally high, too much sugar in your blood can cause many problems including life-threatening, like diabetes, if not treated.

The abnormal production of insulin can be caused by certain disorders such as metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and other carbohydrate metabolic processes. Too much insulin in the blood may cause low levels of sugar in the blood (Hypoglycemia) which causes other types of disorders.

Preparation: An 8 – 12 hour fast is recommended for this test.
