[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2214722, member: 372207"] It's been a while since I read up about this, so I may be completely wrong. But from what I understood, C-peptide is produced whenever insulin is produced (or is a result of producing insulin or such, anyway, they go together). C-peptide has a longer lifetime so it's more accurate than insulin level. I'm talking C-peptide from a blood test of course, not the 24 hour urine one. I may try to find some literature to back up (or burn) my rather vague memories tomorrow. I only asked because I wondered why people would value an insulin test as more useful than a venous C-peptide, going with what I remembered from what I've read about it. It's one of those thing that left me vaguely wondering what it's about whenever someone mentions an insulin test on the forum, this seemed a good thread to ask :) [/QUOTE]
