About Our Insulin

---

Insulin is a hormone created by the pancreas. It is released after meals in response to rising blood sugar levels and is needed to carry glucose from the blood inside cells. Glucose is then used by the body for energy production. When a person does not produce enough insulin or the body's cells do not respond effectively to insulin (insulin resistance) then the cells are starved of glucose while blood sugar levels rise. This can result in major issues with normal metabolic functioning and can result in kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, vision, and neurological problems. Insulin resistance can be seen in individuals with type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), prediabetes or heart disease, metabolic syndrome, acanthosis nigricans, and with pituitary or adrenal gland issues. It is vitally important for insulin and glucose blood levels to be in balance. This insulin test gives you the information to understand how your body's insulin production is working and can provide vital clues to help you take control of your blood sugar levels. If you have questions regarding your results seek advice from a certified medical provider.
