Description
The anti-insulin antibody test checks to see if your body has produced antibodies against insulin. Antibodies are proteins the body produces to protect itself when it detects anything "foreign," such as a virus or transplanted organ. Blood is drawn from a vein (venipuncture), usually from the inside of the elbow or the back of the hand.
