Insulin Free
An insulin in blood test measures the amount of insulin in a sample of your blood. Insulin is a hormone that your pancreas makes. It helps move blood glucose (blood sugar) from your bloodstream into your cells where it's used for energy. Glucose comes from many foods you eat. It's your body's main source of energy.
