What is a C Peptide Test?

A C Peptide Test is a diagnostic tool that measures the level of connecting peptide (C-peptide) in your blood. C-peptide is a substance created when your pancreas produces insulin. Your pancreas first makes a molecule called proinsulin, which then splits into two parts: insulin and C-peptide. They are released into your bloodstream in equal amounts.

The test uses a blood sample taken from a vein in your arm. This test helps doctors understand how much insulin your own body is producing and assists in diagnosing different types of diabetes.
