You need to consult with a diabetes specialist. Was your c-peptide taken with a fasting blood test? From the magnitude of your results, the units look like pmol/L. In general, a fasting c-peptide greater than 225 is usually associated with type 2.

However, have a look at the units and reference range given with your result from the lab.

Units would be helpful as there are I believe a few ways that C-pep is reported.
