At A Glance
 
Why get tested?

When to get tested?
If you have hypoglycaemia, if you have symptoms suggesting insulin is being inappropriately produced by your body, and sometimes if you have diabetes and your doctor wants to monitor your insulin production

Sample required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
