Clinical Data/Laboratory Tests
insulin_fast
Insulin, fasting (calibrated, converted to mU/L)
Insulin, fasting (calibrated, converted to mU/L)

This variable combines fasting glucose results from the central lab that was processed prior to July 5, 2010 (using units of mU/L) with results processed on or after July 5, 2010 (using units of pmol/L) and the overall units are converted to mU/L (1 mU/L = 6 pmol/L).
