[QUOTE="ert, post: 2217977, member: 504712"] I'm really sorry to hear about your diagnosis and wish you luck with your management. I was wondering about the units you quote with the c-peptide as C-peptide test results are classed within 3 ranges/values. The normal range for a c-peptide test is: 0.51 to 2.72 nanograms per millilitre (ng/mL) This may also be expressed as: 0.17-0.90 nanomoles per litre (nmol/L) Also, the c-peptide is not to be interpreted as low without a high fasting glucose. If you have a normal fasting glucose then you can get a low c-peptide result due to an overnight fast. Also, have you had tests for antibodies? Anyway, these are the questions I'd be raising with the GP before accepting I needed to start insulin. I accepted I needed to go on insulin after receiving a c-peptide of 0.078 nmol/l and fasting blood sugar of 9 mmol/l. It was time. [/QUOTE]
