Test Details
The PROINSULIN test is a laboratory test used to measure the levels of proinsulin in the blood. Proinsulin is a precursor molecule to insulin, and it is produced by the beta cells in the pancreas.
The test is often used in the diagnosis and management of diabetes mellitus. In individuals with type 1 diabetes, proinsulin levels are typically low or undetectable, as the beta cells are destroyed by the immune system. In contrast, individuals with type 2 diabetes may have elevated levels of proinsulin, as the beta cells are still functioning but are not able to produce enough insulin.
The PROINSULIN test can help differentiate between type 1 and type 2 diabetes and can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment in individuals with diabetes. Additionally, it may be used to assess the risk of developing diabetes in individuals who have a family history of the disease.

The PROINSULIN test is priced at 2380.0 AED. The test requires a sample condition of 2 mL (1 mL min.) serum from 1 SST. The sample should be shipped refrigerated or frozen, and overnight fasting is mandatory. It is also important to fill out the Test Send Out Consent Form.

Additionally, it may be used to assess the risk of developing diabetes in individuals who have a family history of the disease. The test is usually performed on a blood sample, which is collected through a needle inserted into a vein. The sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. Results are typically reported as the amount of proinsulin present in the blood, usually in picograms per milliliter (pg/mL). It is important to note that the PROINSULIN test is not commonly used as a standalone test for diagnosing diabetes. It is usually performed in conjunction with other tests, such as fasting blood glucose levels, HbA1c levels, and insulin levels, to provide a more comprehensive assessment of an individual’s diabetes status. |
