    What is a Insulin - Fasting Test?

    An Insulin test measures how much Insulin is present in your bloodstream. Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas that allows glucose to enter cells in your muscles, fat, and liver to be used for energy. If the pancreas doesn't produce insulin properly, it can lead to conditions like hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) or hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). Therefore, an Insulin test is important to ensure your insulin levels are within a normal range.

    Insulin blood tests help doctors assess Insulin resistance, diagnose hypoglycemia, and determine the right dosage of insulin therapy in type 2 diabetes patients. They also monitor the success of pancreatic islet cell transplants in type 1 diabetes, a condition where the immune system attacks insulin-producing cells.

    If you're in Noida and experiencing symptoms related to Insulin, an Insulin blood test can determine your pancreas's Insulin production. Schedule an Insulin fasting test in Noida today to check your Insulin levels.

    Insulin - Fasting Test Preparation

    To achieve accurate results when scheduling a Fasting Insulin test at home in Noida, consider the following points:

    • Prerequisites: Fasting for 10 to 12 hours (no food or drink) is required before the Insulin test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested: The Fasting Insulin test can be scheduled at any time of the day following a 10- to 12-hour fasting period.

    • Who Should Take an Insulin Fasting Test: While the test is available to anyone, it is particularly recommended for:

    • Individuals with signs of low blood glucose or low blood pressure such as sweating, shakiness, confusion, or dizziness.

    • Those at risk for or diagnosed with insulin resistance, including prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), or heart disease.

    • Individuals who have undergone pancreas surgery, such as islet cell transplantation or insulinoma removal, to monitor insulin levels and evaluate treatment efficacy.

    • Cautions Before Taking an Insulin Fasting Test: Generally, there are no specific precautions for this test. However, if you take biotin supplements (vitamin B7) or medications containing biotin, your doctor may advise you to discontinue them at least one day before the test. Always consult your doctor before stopping any medications.

    Why Take a Insulin - Fasting Test?

    Your doctor may suggest an Insulin Blood test to identify the underlying cause if a recent blood glucose test showed low blood sugar levels. Symptoms of low blood sugar include:

    • Dizziness

    • Sweating

    • Trembling

    • An irregular heartbeat

    • Hunger

    • Confusion

    • Anxiety

    • Nausea

    • Irritability

    • Weakness

    • Headache

    This test may also be ordered by your doctor to diagnose and monitor Insulin resistance, which is more likely if you have prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, PCOS, or heart disease. Additional reasons why testing may be needed:

    • Insulin Blood test also helps guide treatment decisions for type 2 diabetes, determining if Insulin therapy is necessary.

    • Islet cell transplantation, in which Insulin-producing pancreatic tissue is transplanted, necessitates Insulin testing to assess transplant effectiveness.

    • Removal of Insulinoma, a non-cancerous pancreatic tumour causing excessive Insulin production and low blood glucose. Post-surgery, Insulin testing may be required to verify the absence of tumour tissue and monitor for recurrence.
