[QUOTE="Emile_the_rat, post: 1910174, member: 301751"] Pro-insulin (same as fast acting insulin) are consisting of the two things, the hormone insulin and the protein chain c-peptid. C-peptid and fasting insulin are therefore two different tests. The body produces one c-peptid for each insulin molecule. A c-peptid test can therefore show the capasity of insulin producing cells, also beta cells. A fasting insulin test however shows how much insulin that are released into the bloodstream at the moment of testing. An insulin test can give a picture of how much insulin the body releases, but it won’t show how many beta cells you have left, or how much your beta cells «work». I understand that a fasting bloodsugar test and c-peptid test have some similarities because they both can give a pointer of how well the pro-insulin secretion are. But there is some difference in how they work, as insulin and c-peptid are two different things :) [URL]https://labtestsonline.org/tests/insulin[/URL] [/QUOTE]
