What Is This Test?
Measures the level of insulin in your blood after a meal (post-prandial). Insulin is the hormone made by the pancreas that moves sugar from the blood into cells.
Why this test is performed?
Helps assess insulin resistance (common with obesity, PCOS, fatty liver and prediabetes), investigate low blood sugar episodes, and evaluate how much insulin the pancreas is producing.
Who should take this test?
Excessive thirst, frequent urination, tiredness, slow-healing wounds, weight gain/obesity, family history of diabetes, adults over 30 and people with diabetes.
Test Preparation
Eat your usual meal and give the sample exactly 2 hours after you start eating.
