Keep an empty stomach for 8 to 12 hours beforehand. Water is allowed throughout. If you take morning medicines, ask your doctor whether to delay them until after collection.

Timing and slots:

An early slot works best, especially for fasting tests. Home collection is available across Boring Road, Rajiv Nagar, and the rest of Patna.

Who should get INSULIN (75 GM GLUCOSE TEST) done in Patna?

Bihar's urban diabetes burden is growing steadily. Patna's carbohydrate-heavy diet with limited physical activity across Kankarbagh, Rajendra Nagar, and Ashiana Nagar creates significant metabolic risk from the mid-30s, often detected late. Adults above 30 in Patna benefit from periodic health screening that includes INSULIN (75 GM GLUCOSE TEST) as part of a broader preventive panel. Residents of Patna City, Digha, and across the city with chronic conditions, those on long-term medication, and individuals with a relevant family history should test at the frequency their specialist recommends.

What conditions can INSULIN (75 GM GLUCOSE TEST) help diagnose?

It helps diagnose insulin resistance, prediabetes, diabetes, and reactive hypoglycemia, and monitors conditions such as PCOS or metabolic syndrome. Abnormal results can come from obesity, inactivity, certain medications, or pancreatic disorders, and a family history of diabetes increases the test’s importance.

What do INSULIN (75 GM GLUCOSE TEST) results mean?

Fasting glucose 70-99 mg/dL: normal. Fasting glucose 100-125 mg/dL: pre-diabetes, diet, exercise, and weight loss can prevent progression in over 60% of cases. Above 126 mg/dL on two occasions: type 2 diabetes. HbA1c below 5.7%: normal. HbA1c 5.7-6.4%: pre-diabetes. HbA1c above 6.5%: diabetes. HbA1c above 8% in a known diabetic: poor glycaemic control requiring medication adjustment.
