The C-peptide Post Prandial test is conducted to measure C-peptide levels in your blood, which can be done even after you’ve had food or water. The pancreas releases C-peptide in equal amounts with insulin, which is essential for regulating blood sugar and helping cells use glucose for energy. While C-peptide doesn’t directly impact blood glucose levels, it remains in the bloodstream longer than insulin, making it easier to measure. This test provides valuable insights into how much insulin your body produces and is used for determining diabetes type, managing treatment, diagnosing low blood sugar causes, and monitoring pancreatic tumours. It also distinguishes between insulin produced naturally and that from injections.
