Insulin - Fasting

This test measures the concentration of insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps regulate blood glucose. It may be used with glucose and other laboratory findings to assess insulin production and the body's response to insulin. Healthcare professionals may consider it when evaluating insulin resistance, unexplained low blood glucose, metabolic concerns, or disorders affecting pancreatic insulin production. Results are interpreted in the context of symptoms, medical history, medications, and related laboratory findings.
