Information about Insulin

Fasting Insulin Test – Analysis of Insulin in a Fasting State

This insulin test measures the levels of insulin in the body and is conducted after a fasting period of at least 8 hours. The test provides an accurate assessment of basal insulin concentration in the blood, which is essential for understanding how effectively the body regulates blood sugar levels. The insulin analysis is particularly useful for detecting early signs of insulin resistance and metabolic disorders, such as type 2 diabetes.

Applications of the Fasting Insulin Test

Insulin tests are used in various clinical situations where it is important to assess insulin production and sensitivity. Common conditions or investigations where the test is recommended include:

  • Suspected insulin resistance to evaluate the body's ability to manage insulin, particularly in individuals with risk factors such as obesity, overweight, or high blood sugar.
  • Evaluation of metabolic syndrome insulin resistance is often a central component of metabolic syndrome, which includes high blood pressure, elevated lipids, and abdominal obesity.
  • Diagnosis and monitoring of type 2 diabetes insulin measurements can provide important information on the progression of the disease and whether treatment needs adjustment.
  • Monitoring of hormonal treatments to assess the effectiveness of insulin-related therapies, especially in patients undergoing hormone treatments or weight management programs.

When is an Insulin Test Recommended?

An analysis of insulin concentration is recommended when there is a suspicion of insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, or type 2 diabetes. It is also used as a follow-up to evaluate the effectiveness of treatments aimed at improving insulin sensitivity. The test is based on venous blood sampling and provides reliable results for detecting early signs of diabetes and other conditions affecting the body’s insulin regulation. The combination of insulin measurement with other blood tests can give a comprehensive picture of an individual’s metabolic health and help identify necessary lifestyle changes or medical treatments.

Reference Range for Fasting Insulin

Normal reference values for fasting insulin are typically under 25 mU/L. Levels above this may indicate insulin resistance or other metabolic disorders, such as type 2 diabetes. It is important to note that reference values may vary slightly depending on the laboratory and methods used for insulin analysis.

Hormones are substances that control processes in the body and are produced in special glands and cells in the body.
