What is Insulin (Fasting)?
Measures fasting insulin levels to evaluate insulin resistance, a key factor in type 2 diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and PCOS.
Why is this test important?
Fasting insulin with fasting glucose allows calculation of HOMA-IR (Homeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance). High insulin with normal glucose indicates early insulin resistance before diabetes develops.
How to Prepare
Fasting for 10-12 hours required. Water is allowed.
