Why and when a C-peptide (fasting) test is done?
The pancreas produces insulin which helps regulate blood sugar levels in the body. With every single molecule of insulin, there is a release of an equal amount of C- peptide. Thus, the estimation of C peptide provides information about the amount of insulin produced by the body.
Testing for C-peptide can be a highly beneficial tool for the following reasons:
- To differentiate whether you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes.
- To determine the reason of low blood sugar that is hypoglycemia
- To diagnose the presence of a tumor in the pancreas that releases insulin.
- To find out the appropriate time for starting the insulin treatment in a patient with type 2 diabetes.
Symptoms of low insulin in type 1 diabetic patient:
- Excessive thirst and hunger
- Excessive urination
Low C-peptide can result in low blood glucose and its symptoms include:
- Hunger
- Shaking
- Dizziness
- Light-headedness
- Confusion
- Sleepiness
- Nervousness
