Insulin analogues used in the treatment of insulin-dependent diabetes may result in hypoglycaemia; however, these preparations show variable cross-reactivity in many insulin assays. In order to investigate a suspected insulin overdose, it is therefore essential to characterize the cross-reactivity of these preparations in insulin assays.
