What is INSULIN RESISTANCE TEST?
The Insulin Resistance Test evaluates how effectively your body's cells respond to insulin, the hormone that helps glucose enter cells for energy. High resistance means your cells don't absorb glucose efficiently, leading to higher blood sugar.
Why is this test important?
This test is crucial for identifying insulin resistance, a key factor in the development of Type 2 Diabetes, metabolic syndrome, and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Early detection allows for lifestyle changes and preventive strategies.
How to Prepare
Fasting for 8-12 hours is typically required. Consult your healthcare provider for specific instructions.
