It aids in the regulation of blood glucose levels by transporting and storing glucose, the body's primary source of energy. Insulin aids in the transport of glucose from the bloodstream to the cells, allowing more glucose in the blood to be used and taken up by the cells.

The test result for PT depends on technique used; results are measured in seconds.
Most laboratories report PT results that are adjusted to the International Normalised Ratio (INR). Patients on anticoagulant drugs usually have a target INR 2 .0 to 3.0 (i.e. a prothrombin time 2 to 3 times as long as in a normal patient, using standardised conditions). For some patients who have a high risk of clot formation, the INR must be higher: about 3.0 to 4.0.
To help evaluate insulin production by the beta cells within the pancreas; to assist diagnose the presence of an insulin-producing tumour within the islet cells of the pancreas (insulinoma); to help determine the cause of low blood glucose, and to help identify insulin resistance, or to help determine when a type 2 diabetic might need to start taking insulin to supplement oral medications.
Your doctor may recommend this test for you if you show the following symptoms:
Insulin is a hormone produced and stored within the beta cells of the pancreas. It helps in regulating blood glucose levels by transportation and storage of glucose, the body's main source of energy. Insulin helps transport glucose from the blood to within cells, so that more glucose in the blood is utilised and taken inside the cells.
