Use

The C-Peptide test is used to measure the level of insulin production by the pancreas. C-Peptide is a byproduct of insulin production and provides indirect insight into pancreatic function. This test is commonly performed to evaluate patients with suspected insulinoma, to distinguish between type 1 or type 2 diabetes, and to assess endogenous insulin production in patients taking exogenous insulin. The 'Four Specimens' panel allows for detailed temporal assessment by collecting multiple samples over time, typically in response to treatment or glucose challenge. This dynamic assessment aids clinicians in tailoring diabetes management and monitoring treatment efficacy.
