The C-peptide level may be measured in a patient with type 2 diabetes to see if any insulin is still being produced by the body. It may also be measured in cases of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) to see if the person's body is producing too much insulin.

Normal Results

0.5 to 2.0 ng/mL (nanograms per milliliter)

Low values (or no insulin C-peptide) indicate that your pancreas is producing little or no insulin.

Patients with diabetes may have their C-peptide levels measured as a means of distinguishing type 1 diabetes from type 2 diabetes or Maturity onset diabetes of the young (MODY).
