Pancreatic Function
The pancreas is a vital organ that plays a key role in digestion and blood sugar regulation. It produces enzymes that help break down food in the small intestine and hormones like insulin and glucagon that manage blood glucose levels. Proper pancreatic function is essential for maintaining balanced energy levels, digesting nutrients, and preventing conditions such as diabetes and pancreatitis. Monitoring pancreatic health can provide important insights into digestive efficiency and metabolic control

DiabetesFasting GlucoseThe Fasting Glucose Blood Test measures blood sugar after you have not eaten for at least 8 hours. High levels may be linked to diabetes, prediabetes, or insulin resistance, while normal levels show healthy blood sugar control and energy balance.
-
DiabetesGlucose TestThe Glucose (Random) Blood Test measures blood sugar at any time of day, without fasting. High results can suggest diabetes or problems with blood sugar control, while normal levels usually indicate healthy energy and metabolism.

DiabetesC-PeptideThe C-Peptide Blood Test measures how much insulin your body is making by checking C-peptide, a substance released alongside insulin. Low levels can suggest type 1 diabetes or poor insulin production, while higher levels may point to type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance, or pancreatic problems.
