Anyone ever got this test done? Somebody online recommended me this test cuz i told them how lately i feel out of energy all the time even though i am taking a proper diet. And also how i think i put in more effort at gym but i get results quite late.
So what do u guys think? I want more info on this test in non-medical terms 
otherwise i can always google 
Re: Serum Insulin Level
This is not a joke. I had one done and my level turned out to be 22. That's way out of the normal Insulin level in the body. My Internal Medicine doctor told me I have Insulin Resistance and if I don't look after my diet and lose weight, I might get Type 2 Diabetes. I eat Janumet medicine, twice daily. Along with Iron and stuff. Oh and I do exercise too.
Pray to god that your Insulin level is normal. It's not a nice thing to have, it can't be cured and you have to eat medicine for life. Oh and the medicine has strong and deadly side effects like pancreatitis and lactic acidosis.
Re: Serum Insulin Level
OMG! U just scared me more :(
What i am nt understanding is, frm what i read on the net if yr level is disturbed u wl have messed up blood sugar level too n high bp bt i just got my blood sugar level test done and its all fine. And i am sure if i get high bp i wl notice cuz i have had it couple of times before when i got really depressed (earthquake, flood phase).
Re: Serum Insulin Level
Yeh. Your blood sugar level is high and that's why I eat Janumet to keep it in control. Also my doctor told me Janumet suppresses eating desire or something (hunger pangs?) and will help me lose weight. I have to eat this medicine all my life. If I don't, not only my weight will keep on increasing, I will have problems with child bearing and I will probably get Type 2 Diabetes and die young.
Also if you have Insulin Resistance, there is a type of Cholesterol type in the body, I think LDL, not sure I forgot, but yeh that level is a bit high too. I suggest you go for a full body check up. I got mine done because I was having excess weight and couldn't lose it, no matter what and then this test was done too and I found out about Insulin Resistance in my body.
Re: Serum Insulin Level
Oh :( So since when u have been having yr meds? Now u lost the extra weight kya?
I had my t3, tsh and blood sugar level done and they all came out fine Alhamdulilah so i am hoping for the best.
Re: Serum Insulin Level
I found out 3 months ago, before I went for my 2 months summer vacation to Pakistan. I did managed to lose some, but still hoping for the best. I still have a long way to go. Inshallah everything will be fine for you :)
