This assay is intended for the semi-quantitative determination of antibodies to endogenous insulin or antibodies to exogenous insulin in human serum. Antibodies to exogenous insulin therapies may be detected using this method. The magnitude of the measured result is not related to disease progression. Results should be interpreted within the context of clinical symptoms.
