[QUOTE="ert, post: 2218420, member: 504712"] The c-peptide certainly has a range. My specialist monitored my c-peptide for two years before I went onto insulin. Below 0.2 nmol/l on diagnosis is the indicator of type 1. I was below this on diagnosis but managed for two years by not eating carbohydrates and exercising a lot. My c-peptide deterioration matched my need for insulin, where I could no longer get my blood sugars down through diet and exercise. [URL]https://www.diabetes.co.uk/c-peptide-test.html[/URL] Some laboratories have more accurate measurements than others. My GP surgery's laboratory doesn't do c-peptide tests that would give enough detail to diagnose so I was referred to a specialist and they have a hospital laboratory whos reference range for c-peptide match the descriptors on the link above.
