Measure insulin and keep track of what is happening with the levels of insulin for diabetes prevention and management.

Insulin is a metabolic hormone produced by the pancreas. It transports sugar from the blood to the cells and is peaked after eating. Too much insulin is not a good thing and when too much food is consumed, particularly sugar and starch-based foods, too much insulin is produced. Over time the cells stop absorbing it effectively and too much insulin is left in the blood. This is when the problems start. Therefore it is important to measure insulin and keep track of what is happening with the levels of insulin for diabetes prevention and management. Simple and accurate blood test from a laboratory you can speak to. The results of your Insulin Blood Test will be emailed to you as a secured PDF file, ready for your GP and will also be uploaded to our Health Dashboard area of the website.

Specific biomarker measurement as indicated by test name
Lab analysis with reference ranges

Preparation Required

Fasting for 10–12 hours before your appointment is recommended for accurate results (water is fine). Avoid alcohol for 24 hours and intense exercise for 12 hours before the blood draw. Morning appointments are ideal for consistent hormone and glucose readings. The blood draw typically takes 5–10 minutes.
