    What is a Insulin - Fasting Test?

    Insulin test measures the level of insulin in your bloodstream. Produced by the pancreas, insulin is a hormone that helps glucose enter muscle, fat, and liver cells to be used for energy. An imbalance in insulin production can result in hypoglycaemia (low blood sugar) or hyperglycaemia (high blood sugar).

    Therefore, an Insulin test is crucial for checking if your insulin levels are within the normal range. These tests help doctors diagnose signs of hypoglycaemia, and diabetes, and evaluate insulin resistance. The test can also be conducted to determine if insulin therapy is suitable for patients with type 2 diabetes. Testing can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of pancreatic islet cell transplants in type 1 diabetes, an autoimmune condition that destroys insulin-producing cells.

    If you live in Mumbai and have symptoms related to insulin, an insulin blood test can determine how much insulin your pancreas is producing. Book an Insulin fasting test in Mumbai today to check your insulin levels.

    Insulin - Fasting Test Parameters

    Insulin - Fasting Test Preparation

    To get accurate results when scheduling a Fasting Insulin test at home in Mumbai, keep the following guidelines in mind:

    • Prerequisites: You are required to fast (no eating or drinking) for 10 to 12 hours before the Insulin test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested: The Fasting Insulin test can be scheduled at any time of the day, provided you have fasted for 10 to 12 hours beforehand.

    • Who Should Take an Insulin Fasting Test: This test is open to everyone, but it is particularly recommended for:

      • Individuals with low blood glucose levels or symptoms of hypoglycemia, such as sweating, dizziness, confusion, and shakiness.

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

    • People who have undergone pancreatic surgery, such as islet cell transplantation or removal of an insulinoma, monitor insulin levels and evaluate the success of the treatment.

    • Cautions Before Taking an Insulin Fasting Test: There are generally no special precautions for this test. However, if you are taking biotin supplements (vitamin B7) or medications that contain biotin, your doctor may recommend stopping them at least one day before your test. Always consult your doctor before discontinuing any medications.

    Why Take a Insulin - Fasting Test?

    This test may also be ordered for several reasons such as:

    • To diagnose and monitor insulin resistance, particularly if you have prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, PCOS, or heart disease. The Insulin Blood test helps in making treatment decisions for type 2 diabetes, such as whether insulin therapy is needed. Other reasons for this test include:

    • Evaluating the success of islet cell transplantation, which involves transplanting insulin-producing tissue into the pancreas.

    • Monitoring post-surgery after the removal of an insulinoma, a non-cancerous pancreatic tumour that causes excessive insulin production, to ensure no tumour tissue remains and to check for recurrence.

    • If a recent blood glucose test indicated low blood sugar levels, your doctor might recommend an Insulin Blood test to determine the underlying cause. Symptoms of low blood sugar include:

      • Sweating

      • Headache

      • Dizziness

      • Anxiety

      • Nausea

      • Irritability
