Insulin is produced by beta cells of the pancreas. It leads to Type 1 (IDDM) diabetes caused by Insulin deficiency & Type 2 (NIDDM) diabetes caused by insulin resistance. This assay is useful in the management of Diabetes. It is also used for diagnosing Insulinoma when used in conjunction with Proinsulin and C-peptide measurement

Insulin antibodies are proteins that the body produces to attack insulin. They can be detected through an anti-insulin antibody test.
Insulin Antibody is useful in assessing lower titers of autoantibody in patients with diabetes, detecting insulin autoantibody in patients who are ”prediabetic,” and in detecting autoantibody in patients with other autoimmune disorders. Measurement of GAD-65, ICA-512, and Insulin Antibody is a highly sensitive means to assess risk and predict onset of Type I diabetes.
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder leading to high blood sugar levels. It is mainly of 2 types : Type 1 due to destruction of Insulin producing cells in your pancreas and Type 2 due to less production of Insulin or poor response of your cells to Insulin. Type 2 is more common and results in too much sugar circulating in your blood. Common symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, hunger, fatigue, weight loss, blurred vision, numbness in hands & feet. If untreated, all organs of the body can suffer damage. This panel helps to monitor blood sugar levels specially if your are a pre-diabetic or a diabetic.
Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) affects 5-10% of women of reproductive age, making it the most common endocrine disorder of women in this age group. It is characterized by amenorrhea, hirsuitism and infertility. It is caused by a complex interaction of abnormalities in gonadotropins, androgens & estrogens. Insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia contribute significantly to its pathophysiology. Although PCOS is associated with hyperandrogenism & infertility early in life, it is a harbinger of a lifelong condition that can lead to serious sequelae such as Endometrial or Ovarian cancer, Diabetes mellitus & Coronary artery disease. Thus, it is crucial to diagnose PCOS early in its course not only to recognize but also to delay or arrest its metabolic sequelae.

Sexually transmitted diseases (STD) affect adults worldwide and many individuals are at risk for complications. These are the most common of all infectious diseases with >30 infections now being classified as predominantly sexually transmitted or as frequently sexually transmissible. Chlamydial infections & genital Herpes can spread widely even in relatively low risk populations.

Chlamydia trachomatis is the most common sexually transmitted bacterial infection. Upto 70% of women and 30% of men may be asymptomatic. Infection can lead to tubal pregnancy, Pelvic Inflammatory Disease (PID) and infertility. Gonorrhea is the second most commonly reported bacterial sexually transmitted disease (STD). The majority of urethral infections caused by Neisseria Gonorrhoeae among men produce symptoms that cause them to seek curative treatment, but among women, infections often do not produce recognizable symptoms until complications like PID have occured.
To aid in the diagnosis of common causative pathogens for sexually transmitted infection/disease in both male and female patients.

Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG) are non-motile, Gram-negative diplococci, and the causative agent of gonorrheal disease. Gonorrhea is the second most commonly reported bacterial sexually transmitted disease. The majority of urethral infections caused by NG among men produce symptoms that cause them to seek curative treatment, but among women, infections often do not produce recognizable symptoms until complications like pelvic inflammatory disease have occurred.
