Insulin, Free and Total; Serum LabCorp

This test measures your insulin levels, which helps diagnose conditions like diabetes or insulin resistance that cause your symptoms. It can identify if your body isn't using insulin properly or if you're not producing enough, leading to issues like high blood sugar. Understanding your insulin levels is key to finding the cause of your symptoms and starting appropriate treatment.

Finding the cause(s) of:

• Blurred vision: High blood sugar levels from issues with insulin can affect the lens in your eye, causing blurred vision.
• Fatigue: Problems with insulin and blood sugar control can affect your body's energy levels, leading to fatigue.
• Frequent urination: When blood sugar is high due to insulin issues, your kidneys work harder to filter it, causing you to urinate more often.
• Increased thirst: Frequent urination caused by high blood sugar leads to dehydration, making you feel unusually thirsty.
• Slow-healing sores: Poor blood sugar control associated with insulin problems can impair blood flow and immune function, slowing down wound healing.
• Unexplained weight loss: If your body can't use glucose for energy due to insulin issues, it may start breaking down fat and muscle, leading to weight loss.
