WHile it can't be detected in a test, exogenous insulin does reduce the amount of insulin the body needs to produce, as it reduces glucose levels. If you are doing an unfasted test, I'd expect you to not take insulin to give your body the best possible chance to counter a rising glucose level and produce c-peptides.I am aware of a friend who also did a fasted C-Peptide test and he was told to disable his pump and wait for six hours before the test, to give the body a change to react to whatever his glucose level was, as injected insulin inhibits this process.</blockquote>
