[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 1912554, member: 21149"] Hi. I can't remember if I stopped my Met & Glic before my C-peptide test but it probably wouldn't do any harm to stop it for day or so just before and then re-start afterwards. As others have said you can have the test when taking insulin. Taking the Gliclazide might skew the results slightly as it prods the pancreas to produce more insulin. When I had my test I was on 320mg Glic and it no longer worked so had probably burned out my pancreas anyway! Ref anti-body tests they can be useful but a negative result doesn't mean not T1 as there are various causes for beta cell failure such as viruses. [/QUOTE]
