Insulin Blood Test
An insulin blood test measuring your fasting insulin, the hormone that moves sugar from your blood into cells. It suits people looking at weight, energy or diabetes risk.
What this test is for
The Insulin Blood Test measures the level of insulin in your blood, usually after an overnight fast. Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas. It helps move sugar from your blood into your cells for energy.
It suits people working on their weight, those with a family history of type 2 diabetes, and anyone curious about how their body handles sugar. The sample needs spinning soon after it is taken, so it is only offered in our Hull clinic or at a nurse visit.
Your insulin result appears against its reference range, but it makes most sense read with glucose. Our Insulin Resistance Check adds glucose and a HOMA IR score. A result outside the range can prompt a look at diet, activity and sleep, a repeat test, or a talk with your GP.
