Diabetes / Glucose
No common urgent flag from this test alone. However, if you experience symptoms like extreme thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, or blurred vision, contact your doctor promptly.
This test checks how much insulin is in your blood. You will not eat before this test. Insulin is a hormone your pancreas makes. It helps your body use sugar for energy.
Doctors often order this test to check how well your body makes and uses insulin. They might order it if they think you could have insulin resistance, prediabetes, or diabetes.
Reference ranges for fasting insulin can vary by laboratory. Your doctor will interpret your results based on your individual health and other factors.
