can anyone help with what the following means from my diagnosis report:
Assess pancreatic islet cell function
Distinguish insulin secreting tumors from exogenous insulin administration as a cause of hypoglycemia (commercial insulin does not contain C-peptide). Sera from Insulinoma patients have high insulin and high C-Peptide levels wheres hypoglycemia from injected or exogenous insulin shows high insulin and low C-peptide levels
Increased Levels - Insulinoma & Type II Diabetes
Decreased Levels - Type I Diabetes & Exogenous Insulin.
