There is. Dr Eades talked about it in PPLP. It's not commonly done since it's a lot cheaper and easier to measure glucose rather than insulin. I think when they do measure insulin they will measure both--measure fasting levels and then take multiple measurements over the course of a few hours after eating a glucose "meal" to track the rise and then fall of insulin levels in response.
