Overview
What is INSULIN, PP
Your body’s pancreas produces the hormone insulin. It facilitates the body’s energy conversion from food. Following a meal, insulin causes blood glucose to enter cells where it is converted into sugar, protein, and fat. Insulin facilitates the usage of stored fat, protein, and sugar when we require extra energy. Diabetes is a disorder where the body either uses the insulin it produces improperly or does not produce enough of it to fulfill daily needs. Because the pancreatic cells that produce insulin are damaged, type 1 diabetes results from an insulin shortage. The body’s resistance to insulin’s effects is the cause of type 2 diabetes. The purpose of this test is to manage diabetes.

Usage
The pancreatic beta cells create insulin. It causes diabetes Type 1 (IDDM), which is brought on by insufficient insulin, and Type 2 (NIDDM), which is brought on by resistance to insulin. The management of diabetes can benefit from this assay. In addition, when combined with measurements of C-peptide and proinsulin, it can be utilized to diagnose insulinomas.
