Does it say what units are being used?My CPEP is 927 what does this mean please
noDoes it say what units are being used?
The magnitude suggests the units are pmol/l. Was the result fasting (not eating for at least 8 hours before?). A fasting result less than 80 would support type 1. A result greater than 250 type 2.My CPEP is 927 what does this mean please
Also I have been referred to the community clinic administrator and put on the community joint diabetes list what does this mean please

To be honest you need to talk to your clinic/doctor/whoever gave you the results, for a start they will have the measurement range and all the details that go with your result, whilst people on here may be able to make an educated guess, but none of us on these forums know all the details
I’ve just looked back at your old threads to try and get a better idea of what’s happening. https://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/threads/c-peptide-test-results.161949/ and you said in 2019 your cpeptide was 497. So it’s gone up not down. Cannot see how that can be anything other than increased insulin resistance as it certain doesn’t match type 1.
Sorry so it was 497 recently or in 2019?your correct it is 497 my mistake. i have been doing so many different things on here today and half asleep
WW isn’t great for type 2 often. It focuses on low fat not low carb. When you say not a lot of carbs that can mean very different things to different people. What is a typical days food? Maybe we can help with ideas. I see old threads mentioning museli, porridge and toast so I’m wondering.
If your c peptide is normal to high then the other alternative is very insulin resistant. So the only approach then is to lower this, typically by reducing the amount of carbs which reduces the insulin you require so the insulin levels circulating can lower so the IR can lower. Are you able to self adjust insulin doses or are they fixed ?

Well there’s lots that can change there. Cereal, fruit, potatoes, rice and pasta will all push your levels up. As I suspected this is low fat not low carb. As a type 2 fat is not the problem. Carbs are.i have a small bowl of cereal with (lacto free milk)and fruit in the morning with coffee, yogurt (lacto free) and fruit with seeds and goji berries for my break around 4.30am then i finish around 7am come home have a drink then bed till around lunch time then i have a mackeral salad and dinner is meat veg and a small portion of potatoes or rice or pasta
C-peptide either fasting or stimulated where you have to drink a sugary drink. The normal range after a sugary drink is 200 to 600 pmol/l. Your 927 still puts you in the type 2 insulin resistant bracket. But ask your consultant.no idea if fasting but at a wild guess id say no not fasting
