Insulin, Fasting

Description: The lack of insulin causes the level of sugar in your blood to become abnormally high. When your body does not have enough insulin, it is hard for sugar to enter your cells. Sugar builds up in the blood. Too much sugar in your blood can cause many problems. These problems can be life-threatening if they are not treated. However, proper treatment can control your blood sugar level.

A significant deviation from the normal range may require further evaluation by your physician.

Includes: Insulin.

Patient Instructions: Fast for 12 hours before testing.
