Find Answers to Unexplained Low Blood Sugar with ABCC8 Gene Testing
When your body’s blood sugar levels drop unexpectedly, it can feel frightening and confusing. You might experience dizziness, confusion, sweating, or even seizures without understanding why. For parents watching their child struggle with these symptoms, the worry can be overwhelming. Our ABCC8 Gene Hyperinsulinaemic Hypoglycaemia Type 1 test provides the clarity you need to understand these mysterious episodes and take control of your health journey.
Understanding Your ABCC8 Gene Test
The ABCC8 gene plays a crucial role in regulating your body’s insulin production. When this gene has specific mutations, it can cause hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia type 1 – a condition where your pancreas produces too much insulin, leading to dangerously low blood sugar levels. Our advanced NGS (Next Generation Sequencing) technology examines your ABCC8 gene with exceptional accuracy, identifying even the smallest genetic variations that could be affecting your health.
This isn’t just another blood test – it’s a comprehensive genetic investigation that looks deep into your DNA to find the root cause of your symptoms. We use the same cutting-edge technology trusted by leading medical institutions worldwide, ensuring you receive reliable, clinically validated results.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test could be life-changing if you or your child experience:
- Frequent episodes of low blood sugar without diabetes diagnosis
- Unexplained seizures, particularly in infants and young children
- Persistent sweating, trembling, or confusion after fasting
- Family history of hypoglycaemic episodes or similar symptoms
- Difficulty maintaining normal blood sugar levels despite eating regularly
- Development delays in children with recurrent low blood sugar
Many South African families have found answers through this testing, particularly parents concerned about their children’s unexplained health challenges. Early detection can prevent serious complications and provide the foundation for effective management strategies.
Why This Test Matters for Your Family’s Health
