    What is Insulin - Random Test?

    The Insulin Random test measures the amount of insulin in your blood at a given time. Insulin is a hormone the pancreas makes to help the body use sugar (glucose) for energy. It works by moving glucose from your blood into your cells, which can be used as fuel. Glucose comes from the food and drinks you consume and your body’s stored sugar (glycogen). Without enough insulin or if your body does not use it properly, glucose stays in your blood, leading to high blood sugar (hyperglycaemia) and potentially diabetes. When insulin is lacking for a long time, it can cause a serious condition called diabetes-related ketoacidosis (DKA), where the body breaks down fat for energy, leading to harmful acid buildup in the blood.

    This highlights the importance of getting an Insulin Random test in Bangalore, which is essential for assessing your metabolic health and maintaining your body’s efficiency. It helps identify any issues with insulin levels early on allowing for timely and tailored management plans.

    Insulin - Random Test Parameters

    The Insulin Random test checks for only one parameter: levels of insulin in the blood at any given time of the day.

    Insulin and blood glucose levels normally rise and fall together. After eating, blood glucose increases, prompting the pancreas to release insulin, which helps glucose enter cells and lowers blood sugar levels. If the pancreas produces too much insulin, blood sugar levels can drop too low, affecting the brain and requiring prompt attention. Conversely, if the pancreas produces too little insulin, blood sugar levels can become excessively high, which may lead to long-term health complications affecting various parts of the body.
