C-Peptide

C-peptide- Random Test Overview The C-peptide test serves as a means to measure the amount of C-peptide your body is making. Cpeptide is a byproduct released by the pancreas during the synthesis of insulin. Remarkably, the pancreas generates insulin and C-peptide in nearly equal amounts. Insulin, a vital hormone, plays a pivotal role in regulating the levels of glucose (sugar) in the bloodstream, with glucose serving as the primary energy source for the human body. Given that C-peptide is a byproduct directly related to insulin production, this test provides valuable insights into the body's insulin production levels.
