{"product_id":"insulin-fasting-88","title":"Insulin, Fasting","description":"\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"2\"\u003eThe Fasting Insulin test measures the amount of insulin—a hormone produced by the pancreas—currently in your bloodstream after a period of not eating. While a glucose test tells you what your blood sugar is, the insulin test tells you how hard your body is working to keep that sugar stable. This makes it an essential tool for detecting insulin resistance long before it turns into Type 2 Diabetes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhat This Test Covers\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,0,0\"\u003eSerum Insulin Level: A measurement of the insulin currently circulating in your blood.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4,1,0\"\u003ePancreatic Function: Evaluates how well your pancreas is producing insulin in response to your body's needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eWhy Order This Test?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,0,0\"\u003eDetect Insulin Resistance: Identify if your cells are becoming numb to insulin, which is the primary driver of weight gain and metabolic syndrome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,1,0\"\u003ePrediabetes Screening: Catch metabolic changes early, even if your standard blood sugar levels still appear normal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,2,0\"\u003ePCOS Investigation: Highly useful for women investigating Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, which is often linked to high insulin levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6,3,0\"\u003eWeight Management: High fasting insulin makes it very difficult for the body to burn stored fat; this test helps identify that hormonal roadblock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"7\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eFast and Private Results\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003ePreparation: This test requires a strict fast of 8 to 12 hours.
