10Insulin immunoassays are poorly standardised between manufacturers, differing in cross-reactivity with proinsulin and its split products. Values from different laboratories are not interchangeable, and derived indices inherit the discrepancy.{{r|wallace2004}}10Insulin immunoassays are poorly standardised between manufacturers, differing in cross-reactivity with proinsulin and its split products.

+12Its principal use is as an input to derived indices, chiefly [[HOMA-IR|HOMA-IR]] and HOMA-B, which combine it with fasting glucose to estimate insulin resistance and secretory capacity respectively.{{r|matthews1985}}

13Insulin secretion is a response to glucose. A high fasting insulin with a normal fasting glucose indicates that normal glucose is being maintained at the cost of high insulin — the signature of insulin resistance with preserved secretion. The same insulin with a high glucose indicates resistance with inadequate compensation.{{r|wallace2004}}15Insulin secretion is a response to glucose.
