Understanding the C-Peptide Test

The C Peptide Test measures the level of C peptide in the blood, a marker of insulin production by the pancreas. It helps assess beta-cell function and is essential for differentiating between Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. The test also aids in monitoring insulin therapy and diagnosing insulinomas.

C-Peptide Test Measures

High C Peptide Levels: May indicate insulin resistance, Type 2 diabetes, or an insulin-producing tumor (insulinoma). Low C Peptide Levels: Suggests reduced insulin production, commonly seen in Type 1 diabetes or advanced Type 2 diabetes. Conditions Monitored: Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes Insulin resistance Hypoglycemia due to insulinomas Effectiveness of diabetes treatment

The C-Peptide test is a blood test used to evaluate how much insulin your body is producing. C-Peptide, or "connecting peptide," is released in the same amount as insulin from the pancreas. By measuring serum C-peptide levels, this test helps differentiate between type 1 and type 2 diabetes, assess insulin resistance, and guide diabetes management.

This test is particularly useful for individuals with unusual blood sugar levels, those undergoing diabetes treatment, or those being evaluated for insulin-producing tumours. With MaxAtHome, the C-Peptide blood test can be scheduled from the comfort of your home, with accurate results delivered digitally.

Who Should Get Tested?

Your doctor may recommend a C-peptide test if:

You have been newly diagnosed with diabetes and the type is unclear
You have low blood sugar levels without an obvious cause
Your blood glucose is not responding as expected to current treatment
You are being evaluated for an insulinoma or other pancreatic conditions
You are undergoing a Diabetes Basic Profile and need a more detailed insulin function assessment

Symptoms That May Require This Test

The C-peptide test may be ordered if you experience symptoms such as:

Unexplained episodes of low or high blood sugar
Frequent hypoglycaemia despite low insulin use
Difficulty achieving glucose control with standard diabetes therapy
Signs of insulin resistance, such as fatigue, weight gain, or skin darkening around the neck
Fluctuating blood sugar levels despite consistent lifestyle or treatment

This test helps provide clarity on whether the body is producing too much or too little insulin.

How is the Test Done?

With MaxAtHome, getting a C-peptide test at home is simple and efficient:

A certified phlebotomist visits your home at a scheduled time
A blood sample is drawn from a vein in your arm
The sample is securely transported to a NABL-accredited lab
Results are analysed using standard ELISA methods

Preparation Before the Test

The need for fasting depends on the type of C-peptide test ordered:

Fasting C-Peptide Test: Requires 8–10 hours of fasting before sample collection
Non-fasting C-Peptide Test: May be done post-glucose or post-meal to evaluate stimulated insulin production

Time Taken for Results

With MaxAtHome near you, the C-peptide test results are usually available within 24 to 48 hours of sample collection.

Once your test is complete:

The report is sent digitally via SMS and email
You can access it securely through the MaxAtHome platform
The results can be easily downloaded and shared with your doctor

Understanding Your Test Results

C-peptide levels are measured in nanograms per millilitre (ng/mL). Reference ranges may vary slightly by lab and clinical context.

General Guidelines:

Normal C-peptide level: Typically 0.5 to 2.0 ng/mL (fasting)
High C-peptide levels may indicate:

Type 2 diabetes
Insulin resistance
Insulinoma
Kidney dysfunction

Low C-peptide levels may suggest:

Type 1 diabetes
Reduced or absent insulin production
Post-pancreatectomy state
