What Insulin measures
Insulin is a hormone made by the pancreas that helps move glucose from the blood into cells. Its level reflects how the body is managing blood sugar.
Why it is tested
Insulin is measured as part of a broader look at metabolic and blood-sugar regulation, often with glucose and HbA1c. It appears in metabolic and comprehensive panels.
