Insulin Fasting Test Details

What is the Insulin Fasting Test?

Insulin is a hormone that is produced and stored in the beta cells of the pancreas. That is secreted in response to increased blood glucose following a meal and is vital for the transportation and storage of glucose, the body’s main source of energy. Insulin helps transport glucose from the bloodstream to within cells, thus helping regulate blood glucose levels and having a role in lipid metabolism.

What does it measure?

The Insulin Fasting test measures: The levels of insulin in the blood after a fasting period of 8 hours. Insulin is the hormone responsible for the uptake of glucose levels by the cells from the blood for utilisation and storage. It also helps to maintain blood glucose levels within a normal range. This insulin also plays an important role in the metabolism of lipids. The amount of blood glucose levels in the insulin in blood maintain a balance with each other. An increase in blood sugar stimulates insulin production by the pancreas. It causes insulin levels to rise in the blood. Diabetes, a disorder associated with high glucose levels and decreased insulin effects, can be a life-threatening condition. People with type 1 diabetes produce a very small amount of insulin and so eventually require insulin supplementation therapy. Type 2 diabetes is generally related to insulin resistance, which increases over time.
