Description
The Fasting Insulin test measures the amount of insulin in your blood after fasting (not eating) for several hours. Insulin is the hormone responsible for helping your body regulate blood sugar (glucose). This test provides important insight into how your body manages sugar and responds to food intake, and is commonly used to assess insulin resistance, pre-diabetes, and metabolic health.
The Process
A blood sample is collected after a fasting period of 8–12 hours. This ensures accurate measurement of baseline insulin levels without the influence of recent meals.
