What is Insulin Free?
This test measures the amount of "free" insulin circulating in your blood, which is insulin not bound to antibodies or other proteins. It provides a more accurate picture of biologically active insulin, especially in individuals receiving insulin therapy.
Why is this test important?
Free insulin levels are important for evaluating insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, and the effectiveness of insulin treatment. It helps distinguish between endogenous insulin production and exogenous insulin administration.
How to Prepare
Fasting for 8-12 hours is usually required. You may drink water during this period.
