Fluorescent insulin

A colleague asked me to enquire about fluorescently labelled insulin.
Any fluorochrome would do.

Has anyone used such a reagent for receptor binding studies on insulin
responsive cells (not necessarily by flow)?
If so, did it show reasonable binding and how was it labelled?
Does anyone know of a commercial supply, or do you need to make your own?

Thanks,
