Notice

Laboratory test results must always be interpreted in the context of the patient’s medical history, clinical condition, and the results of other laboratory and diagnostic tests. Deviations from normal values are not sufficient on their own to establish a diagnosis, and values within the normal range do not always mean that a disease is absent. It is advisable to consult a doctor about the results.

Please read these instructions carefully well in advance of the collection.

Bring a valid ID (ID card or passport) to verify your identity.

What interests you about the Insulin test?

What role does insulin play in the body?

The main role of insulin is to regulate the body's energy supply by balancing micronutrient levels during and after food intake. Insulin is crucial for the transport of intracellular glucose into insulin-dependent cells and tissues such as the liver, muscle, and adipose tissue.

When is insulin released?

When blood glucose levels increase, the pancreas responds by releasing insulin, which returns blood sugar levels to normal. The main function of insulin is to transport glucose and amino acids into cells, which results in better and faster regeneration.

What is the function of insulin?

Insulin helps transport glucose into cells, which use it as an important source of energy. Your body stores any excess sugar in your liver, muscles, and fat cells. Once the glucose has moved into your cells, your blood sugar levels return to normal.

What causes insulin deficiency?

Insulin deficiency is manifested by paleness, tremors, excessive sweating, headaches, hunger, nausea, irregular and/or rapid heartbeat, fatigue, irritability and/or anxiety, difficulty concentrating, dizziness, lightheadedness, tingling and numbness of the lips, tongue or face
