The Hypoglycemia Panel is a set of blood tests that look for causes of low blood sugar. It may also be called a hypoglycemia workup or low blood sugar evaluation. If your provider ordered this panel, you can book at participating labs on LabFinder.
This panel can also be called a fasting hypoglycemia panel. It checks glucose, insulin, C peptide, proinsulin, beta hydroxybutyrate, and screens for certain diabetes pills. Some orders also include IGF2. Together, these results help your doctor see if low sugar is from your own insulin, a medicine effect, or another condition.
Common reasons: episodes of shakiness, sweating, or confusion that improve after eating, very low readings on a finger stick, suspected insulinoma, possible reaction to diabetes medicines, or low sugar found during another test. Your provider may use this panel to guide next steps.
You will check in, confirm your order, and review any fasting instructions. A phlebotomist will clean the skin and draw a few small tubes of blood. A bandage is placed and you can head out. Plan for about 20 to 35 minutes at the site.
Yes, this is a quick, routine blood draw and is considered very safe. You might feel a quick pinch, notice a small bruise, or feel a little lightheaded for a moment afterward, but those effects usually fade quickly. Be sure to tell the staff if you take blood thinners, have a bleeding disorder, or if you have fainted during blood draws before. They will take extra care to keep you comfortable. If you feel shaky or unwell at any time during a fasting visit, tell the team right away.
Fasting: some orders require no food for 8 to 14 hours, but follow the exact note from your doctor. Medications: bring a list of all medicines and supplements, including diabetes pills or insulin. Hydration: drink water unless told not to. Activity: avoid hard exercise before the draw unless your doctor says otherwise. After the draw: bring a snack in case you need to eat soon after. Always follow the center’s instructions and bring prior results if you have them.
Possible insulinoma, low blood sugar due to diabetes medicines, reactive low sugar after meals, adrenal or pituitary problems that affect sugar balance, severe liver disease, or illness related low sugar. Results are read in context. Your doctor will review your results with your history and symptoms before recommending any next steps.
