C-Peptide is useful in distinguishing Insulinomas from exogenous insulin administration. It’s concentrations are severely decreased or absent in Type I Diabetes mellitus. C-Peptide is also useful in monitoring patients who have received islet cell or pancreatic transplants.

A postprandial C-peptide serum test measures the amount of C-peptide in your blood after eating. C-peptide is a byproduct of insulin production, and measuring it can help determine how well your pancreas is responding to food. 

What it’s used for 

    • Diagnosing and managing diabetes
    • Distinguishing between type 1 and type 2 diabetes
    • Tailoring treatment plans
  • Helping to find the cause of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)
How it works
  • The pancreas releases equal amounts of C-peptide and insulin into the bloodstream 
  • C-peptide stays in the blood longer than insulin, making it easier to measure 
  • A C-peptide test can’t diagnose diabetes, but it can indicate if your body can produce insulin 
What to expect 

  • You may need to fast overnight before the test
  • The test is performed using a blood sample
  • The sample is collected in a red-top tube or gel-barrier tube
  • The sample is refrigerated during transport and storage
