Insulin Panel (Insulin F/PP) - Delhi
CLINICAL BIOCHEMISTRY
|
Also Known As:
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.
Over night fasting mandatory.
Submit Insulin PP sample after 1.45 hrs to 2 hrs after finishing meal

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