Insulin, Fasting

The Fasting Insulin test measures the level of insulin in the blood after an overnight fast. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels by facilitating the uptake of glucose into cells for energy. This test is a critical component in understanding and managing conditions related to insulin and blood sugar regulation.
