When does a doctor order INSULIN SENSTIVITY TEST?

INSULIN SENSTIVITY TEST is often ordered as part of metabolic or diabetes risk assessments, including fasting insulin, fasting glucose and HOMA-IR calculations. Your doctor may request it if you have high blood sugar, unexplained weight gain, fatigue, or features of metabolic syndrome or PCOS.

Who should get INSULIN SENSTIVITY TEST done in Lucknow?

Uttar Pradesh reports a rising urban diabetes burden. Lucknow's carbohydrate- and ghee-heavy diet with sedentary routines across Gomti Nagar, Indira Nagar, and Aliganj creates significant metabolic risk from the mid-30s. Adults above 30 in Lucknow benefit from periodic health screening that includes INSULIN SENSTIVITY TEST as part of a broader preventive panel. Residents of Vibhuti Khand, Indira Nagar, 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 SENSTIVITY TEST help diagnose?

It helps diagnose insulin resistance and monitor treatment. Abnormal results arise from obesity, inactivity, some medications, or genetic risk. A family history of type 2 diabetes makes testing more important.

What do INSULIN SENSTIVITY TEST results mean?

Post-meal glucose (2 hours after eating) above 140 mg/dL indicates impaired glucose tolerance. Above 200 mg/dL with symptoms is diagnostic of diabetes. Oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT): 2-hour value below 140 mg/dL is normal, 140–199 mg/dL is pre-diabetes, 200 mg/dL or above is diabetes.

How often should INSULIN SENSTIVITY TEST be repeated?

Adults with a normal result: every 3 years from age 30, or annually if overweight or with a family history. Pre-diabetics: every 6 to 12 months. Diagnosed diabetics: HbA1c every 3 months until controlled, then every 6 months. Testing frequency rises during medication changes or pregnancy.

What happens after INSULIN SENSTIVITY TEST results are ready?

After the lab authorises your results, the report is uploaded to your GetVisit account and saved for future comparison. If anything falls outside the expected range, your doctor can advise whether it needs a repeat test, a lifestyle change, or a specialist opinion.
