Healthcare and lifestyle professionals gained practical experience with insulin response testing, using the EasyReader+\u00ae to measure hs-insulin and translate multiple measurements into an insulin response curve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Swiss Point of Care recently hosted a practical training session for the Insulin Response Test<\/strong>, organised in collaboration with Ketogeen Instituut Nederland<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the session, participants learned how to perform insulin measurements in practice and worked directly with the EasyReader+\u00ae<\/strong>. The practical training was led by Floor van Leeuwen, owner of SanaVita and specialised in ketogenic metabolic therapy and orthomolecular therapy based on kPNI principles<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Understanding the Insulin Response<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

After carbohydrate intake, blood glucose levels rise and the body releases insulin to help transport glucose from the bloodstream into the cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Blood glucose alone does not always show how much insulin the body needs to maintain this balance. Two people may have a similar glucose response while the amount of insulin required can differ considerably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By measuring how quickly insulin rises, how high the response becomes and how long levels remain elevated, healthcare professionals can gain additional insight into the body\u2019s metabolic response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A higher or prolonged insulin response may indicate that the body needs to produce more insulin to regulate blood glucose effectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Insulin Response Test<\/strong> measures insulin at several predefined moments over a two-hour period. These measurements are combined into an insulin response curve, making changes in insulin levels visible over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practical Insulin Testing with the EasyReader+\u00ae<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During the training, participants worked with the EasyReader+\u00ae<\/strong>, a compact point-of-care analyser designed for professional biomarker testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its compact format and straightforward workflow make it suitable for use in healthcare practices, clinics and screening environments where measurements can be performed directly at the point of care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants started with a fasting measurement and continued with additional measurements at set intervals up to 120 minutes. They learned how to collect and process the sample, perform the hs-insulin measurement and record the results to create an insulin response curve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Than Insulin Measurement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The EasyReader+\u00ae is not limited to hs-insulin testing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The system supports a broader range of biomarkers, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Vitamin D<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • hs-CRP<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • TSH<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Cortisol<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    This makes the EasyReader+\u00ae a versatile point-of-care solution for professionals who want to incorporate multiple biomarker measurements into their practice or screening services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    From Measurement to Interpretation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Performing the measurements is only part of the Insulin Response Test. Correct interpretation of the resulting curve is essential to understand the different response patterns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The training therefore concludes with an interpretation session led by Peter Voshol<\/strong>, during which the measured insulin curves are reviewed and discussed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    By combining theoretical knowledge, practical testing and interpretation, participants learn how insulin measurements can be integrated into their professional practice in a structured and responsible way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Supporting Professional Point-of-Care Testing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The practical training demonstrated how point-of-care technology can make biomarker testing more accessible within professional healthcare and lifestyle settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Swiss Point of Care was pleased to support the training together with Ketogeen Instituut Nederland and provide participants with practical experience using the EasyReader+\u00ae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Together, we continue working toward making metabolic health measurable, accessible and actionable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
