Glucagon, Plasma

This test measures the amount of glucagon in your blood, a hormone produced by the pancreas that raises blood sugar levels. It helps show whether your body is regulating sugar correctly, which is important if you have unexplained low blood sugar or difficult-to-manage diabetes. The results can help rule out rare pancreatic tumors or hormone deficiencies that affect your metabolism. However, this test cannot diagnose a specific condition on its own and is usually interpreted alongside other blood sugar tests.
