Know more about this test
Insulin Fasting measures the level of insulin after a fasting period of 8-12 hours. This common blood test is available at an affordable price in Agra with Tata 1mg labs. Insulin is a hormone secreted by the beta cells of the pancreas and helps in maintaining normal blood glucose levels. Deranged fasting insulin levels may indicate type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
Your doctor may suggest Insulin Fasting test if you experience symptoms such as frequent urination, increased thirst, and hunger, weakness, weight changes, heart rate changes, poor healing ability, tingling or numbness in the hand and legs, etc. Additionally, this test also helps to assess the response to insulin treatments.
