What is difference between fasting insulin test and glucose test? - pictures of insulin bottles

My doctor ordered blood tests for the fasting insulin. How is it different from a test glucose tolerance test or a fasting blood sugar levels?

I have one other point in time, and very unstable, when I need sugar. There are diabetes and pre-diabetes in my family, so I've ordered this test. On fasting insulin can give an idea of what happens to my blood sugar levels?

A level of insulin indicate that insulin in the blood, if you have nothing to eat or drink after 12 clock (or NPO). A test of glucose tolerance is when you have NPO since midnight, will work in the lab received a dose of glucose drink and take blood samples in accordance with its policy to see every hour, 2 to 6 hours in order to understand how your pancreas , to produce insulin to metabolize glucose given in the drink. A test for glucose when fasting is done once again been NPO since midnight blood has been developed to measure the sugar or glucose in the blood. All these tests are carried out when it (no no food or drink) was otherwise used to change the test. The symptoms are symptoms of blood sugar level is not high. Diabetes, the pancreas does not produce enough insulin to work to glucose, or sugar, improve metabolism, hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia symtpoms listed. I hope I have helped

The glucose and insulin are two different things. Insulin is what aids the removal of glucose. If this is high, your blood sugar is low, and vice versa. A GTT TGC and say, no sugar in the blood, how quickly metabolized and broken.
