I'm just curious if anyone can explain what this test really reveals? My Dr. said it will help determine if I'm Type 1.5 or Type 2.
 
It measures how much insulin your body is making. Normally in type2 at least for the first few years, our body is making more insulin then is normal, but due to "insulin resistance", the insulin is ignored.

(The result can be invalid if have normal BG due to VERY low carb for a few days coming up to the test.)

My C-Peptide was 3.3 but my fasting glucose was 91. My diet has been low carb since dx. I'm so confused at to what this all means?
