About test
What does INSULIN - FASTING measure?
This test measures the level of insulin in the blood. Insulin is a hormone that helps regulate blood glucose by supporting the movement of glucose into cells for energy or storage. It may be used alongside glucose and other tests to help evaluate insulin production, insulin resistance, or certain causes of abnormal blood sugar levels. Results should be interpreted in the context of clinical history and related laboratory findings.
