Fasting insulin blood test

Fasting Insulin Blood Test

For a deeper metabolic add-on after basic sugar markers, not a substitute for the diabetes panel.

Asked for fasting insulin, or exploring a metabolic add-on beyond HbA1c and glucose? This venous single is that focused marker.

For HbA1c plus fasting glucose first, see HbA1c and Fasting Glucose.

Turnaround time

Results typically land in 5 working days once the laboratory receives a usable sample. Most routine biomarkers are released the same or next working day, and each marker appears in Console as soon as it completes clinical validation, so you are not waiting for the slowest marker to see the rest.

A typical timeframe, not a guarantee: the clock starts at sample receipt, not at order or postage, and postal or transit delays can occasionally extend it.

FAQs

Is this a substitute for HbA1c and Fasting Glucose?
No. Start with HbA1c and Fasting Glucose for HbA1c and fasting glucose. Use fasting insulin as a deeper add-on after that.
Do I need to fast?
Yes. Fast for at least 8 hours with water only before your sample.
