Identify insulin resistance. Monitor the amount of insulin produced by the beta cells in the pancreas (endogenous); in this case, a C-peptide test may also be done. Insulin and C-peptide are produced by the body at the same rate as part of the conversion of proinsulin to insulin in the pancreas.
1 In the face of hypoglycemia (glucose less than 40 mg/dl), the insulin level should be less than 5 Î¼U/ml. 2  If the insulin level is greater than 10 Î¼U/ml, further diagnostic evaluation is warranted. 3  A glucagon stimulation test can be both diagnostic and therapeutic in making the diagnosis of hyperinsulinism.
