[QUOTE="Mep, post: 1475500, member: 211362"] I'm not sure what the lab result range is for your test, but if your insulin c-peptide result is high according to that range then your body is still producing insulin. I got a below normal range result on mine so I got told I no longer produce sufficient insulin and need insulin therapy. So has your insulin production improved you think? That's interesting if it has. How did it come about? I guess it also depends how long you've had diabetes, etc. We're all different. You say you're type 1 so if you're newly diagnosed you could still be in the honeymoon phase where you do still have insulin. Although my knowledge of type 1 compared to what I have is not significant with the ins and outs so I'll leave it up to other type 1's on this forum to answer. I just know for me I've been told my c-peptide was in the red and I have to be on insulin... my insulin was destroyed via years of insulin resistance though. I wish you the best. :) [/QUOTE]
