Normal Ranges

With the Honest Explanation

Reference ranges vary between laboratories. This is not a quality issue — it is because each lab calibrates its instruments and methods using different populations, reagents, and equipment. A result of 5.5 at one lab may show as slightly different at another. What matters is: (1) always using the same lab for serial monitoring, (2) understanding your trend over time, not just one reading. Gini's ranges are calibrated on our specific instruments and validated monthly against international reference samples. Read the full explanation →

Result	Range	Clinical Meaning
Normal	2–20 µIU/mL	Normal insulin production
Insulin resistance	Above 15–20 µIU/mL	Pancreas overproducing insulin — insulin resistance present
Low	Below 2 µIU/mL	May indicate Type 1 or advanced Type 2 with beta cell exhaustion

Result Interpretation

What Your Result Means

If Your Result Is High

Insulin resistance — a major driver of PCOS, pre-diabetes, abdominal obesity, and cardiovascular risk. Treatable with metformin, GLP-1 therapy, and lifestyle.

If Your Result Is Low

Very low insulin suggests the pancreas is not producing enough — Type 1 diabetes or late-stage Type 2.

Price & Why Accuracy Matters

More Than a Lab — A Hospital Lab

Gini's Insulin Fasting costs ₹400. Budget standalone labs charge less. The difference is not just equipment — it is what happens when your result is abnormal.

At a standalone lab, you get a report. At Gini, if your Insulin Fasting is significantly abnormal, our team flags it to Dr. Anil Bhansali's office. You are not alone with a concerning number.

This is what a hospital lab means vs a standalone diagnostic centre. More on Gini's lab quality →
