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.
The preparation depends on the reason for testing your insulin levels. Ask your health care provider if you should fast before the test. The health care provider may ask you to stop taking medications that can interfere with the test, including injected insulin and/or oral antidiabetic medications.
