INSULIN (FASTING)

What is an Insulin Fasting Test?

An Insulin Fasting Test is a blood test that measures the amount of insulin in your blood after fasting for a specific period, usually 8–12 hours. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps regulate blood sugar levels by allowing glucose to enter the body's cells.

This test helps doctors understand how well your body is producing and using insulin. It is commonly recommended to evaluate insulin resistance, prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), and other metabolic conditions. Many people opt for an Insulin (Fasting) Test in CHITTORGARH as part of a comprehensive health assessment.
