About This Test
The Insulin F/PP Test measures insulin levels in two states:
1. Fasting Insulin (F) – after 8–10 hours of fasting
2. Post-Prandial Insulin (PP) – typically 2 hours after a meal or 75g glucose load
This combination helps assess how the pancreas responds to both baseline and post-meal glucose levels.Insulin is produced by the beta cells of the Pancreas. It leads to Type 1 (IDDM) Diabetes caused by insulin deficiency and Type 2 (NIDDM) Diabetes caused by insulin resistance. This assay is useful in the management of Diabetes and for diagnosing Insulinoma when used in conjunction with Proinsulin and C-peptide measurement.

TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
