Insulin is the hormone that enables cells to take in glucose. Without insulin, it is much more difficult for glucose to get into the cells where it can then be used as fuel for metabolic processes. As a result, the glucose builds-up in the bloodstream. With too little insulin, blood sugar levels remain higher than normal (hyperglycemia). With too much insulin, blood sugar levels remain lower than normal (hypoglycemia), causing symptoms such as sweating, trembling, light-headedness, and in extreme cases, shock.
Having insulinemia (too much insulin), but still prone to hyperglycemia (too much sugar in the blood) because of peripheral insulin resistance may reveal a condition known as Metabolic Syndrome, which generally involves central obesity, high blood pressure, high triglycerides, low HDL (good) cholesterol, and insulin resistance with elevated blood glucose. This condition is often associated with pre-diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and hormone abnormalities.
Fasting is required for 12 hours prior to your blood draw at a local CLIA-approved site. Instructions and a list of locations near you will be provided. You'll have direct online access to your results usually within 2-3 business days. Storage of and access to your results are HIPAA compliant.
