Insulin Resistance (Fasting)
The Insulin Resistance (Fasting) test is used to assess how effectively your body responds to insulin. It typically combines fasting insulin and fasting glucose measurements to estimate insulin sensitivity.
Insulin resistance occurs when cells respond poorly to insulin, leading to higher insulin levels and increased risk of type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and metabolic syndrome.
This test is particularly useful for early identification of metabolic risk before diabetes develops.
Results help guide lifestyle changes, dietary advice, and further monitoring where appropriate.
