    What is Insulin - Random Test?

    The Insulin Random test checks the amount of insulin in your blood at any given time. This test focuses on insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas that plays a key role in moving glucose into cells, where it is used for energy. Glucose is derived from dietary intake and stored glycogen. If insulin levels are low or the body becomes resistant to its effects, glucose remains in the bloodstream, leading to conditions like hyperglycaemia and diabetes. Prolonged insulin deficiency can also result in diabetes-related ketoacidosis (DKA), a severe condition involving the breakdown of fat and acid buildup.

    Getting an Insulin Random test in Mumbai is a key step in evaluating your metabolic health and ensuring early detection of insulin-related problems for effective intervention.

    Insulin - Random Test Parameters

    The Insulin Random test measures just one parameter: the insulin level in the bloodstream at any specific time. Insulin and glucose levels usually fluctuate together. Following a meal, blood sugar rises, prompting the pancreas to release insulin, which moves glucose into cells and helps regulate blood sugar. When the pancreas produces too much insulin, blood sugar can drop to dangerously low levels, potentially affecting brain activity and demanding immediate attention. If too little insulin is produced, blood sugar levels may become excessively high, contributing to long-term health risks and complications across the body.
