What is normal c peptide level?

In my reports normal range was from 0.9 to 7 ng/ml. But Google shows something else only.

Look at the unit of measurement:

What is your test number?

Fasting: 0.78-1.89 ng/mL or 0.26-0.62 nmol/L (SI units)

Units

pmol/L

Test Usage

C-peptides are fragments derived from endogenous, but not exogenous, insulin and therefore may be used to assess endogenous insulin secretion even in patients who receive exogenous insulin therapy.

C-peptide testing is used in the investigation of unexplained hypoglycaemia and in the management of patients with insulin treated diabetes.

Investigation of hypoglycaemia:

A C-peptide concentration greater than 300 pmol/L during a hypoglycaemic episode (concurrant glucose <2.5 mmol/L), is inappropriately high suggesting insulinoma or sulfonylurea ingestion. C-peptide is considered appropriately supressed if less than 94 pmol/L during hypoglycaemia. Indeterminate values are 94-300 pmol/L.

C-PEPTIDE TEST RESULTS

C-peptide test results are classed within 3 ranges/values.

NORMAL RANGE

The normal range for a c-peptide test is: 0.51 to 2.72 nanograms per millilitre (ng/mL)

This may also be expressed as: 0.17-0.90 nanomoles per litre (nmol/L)

The following information serves only as a guide. Your doctor should be able to advise you as to what the test results may indicate.

That is good you are well within the limits of the units of measurement!

Fasting: 0.78-1.89 ng/mL

Enjoy your holidays.

A normal result is between 0.5 to 2.0 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL), or 0.17 to 0.83 nanomoles per liter (nmol/L).

Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your provider about the meaning of your specific test results.
