The C-Peptide Level Test, also known as the Insulin C-Peptide Test, is a diagnostic blood test that measures the levels of C-peptide, a byproduct of insulin production. This test provides information about the body's ability to produce insulin, aiding in the diagnosis and management of diabetes.
- The test assesses C-peptide levels, which are indicative of the body's insulin production.
- It is commonly used in the diagnosis and management of diabetes, helping to distinguish between type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
- Results should be interpreted by a healthcare provider for accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning.
