*An elevated/reduced concentration of serum/blood/urinary/CSF/other [lab test] is diagnostic of [disease name].

*Plasma [[glucose]] level
*[[Insulin]]
*[[C-peptide]]
*Pro-insulin
The sensitivity of combination of these 4 tests after 72 hour fasting is around 99%.


Normally, endogenous insulin production is suppressed in the setting of hypoglycemia.  A 72-hour fast, usually supervised in a hospital setting, can be done to see if insulin levels fail to suppress, which is a strong indicator of the presence of an insulin-secreting tumor.
During the test, the patient may have calorie-free and caffeine-free liquids.  Capillary blood glucose is measured every 4 hours using a [[glucose meter|reflectance meter]], until values < 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) are obtained. Then, the frequency of blood glucose measurement is increased to every hour until values are < 49 mg/dL (2.7 mmol/L).  At that point, or when the patient has symptoms of hypoglycemia, a blood test is drawn for serum [[glucose]], [[insulin]], [[proinsulin]], and C-peptide levels.  The fast is stopped at that point, and the [[hypoglycemia]] is treated with intravenous [[dextrose]] or calorie-containing food or drink.<ref>Insulinoma.
