[QUOTE="bulkbiker, post: 2233353, member: 219467"] It tests how much endogenous insulin you are producing using c-peptide as a proxy. If you are experiencing high blood sugars considering the medication you are on it could be that you are under producing your own insulin unlike the "classic" T2 who will be overproducing due to insulin resistance. If you are underproducing then dietary changes, although likely to help a bit, won't be as effective as they would for an over producer. You may be able to get one on the NHS, just a case of asking, otherwise various organisations do them privately but they aren't cheap. [/QUOTE]
