But my c-peptide is 3.13 which is also normalI had negative GAD, diagnosed T1 after C-Peptide test result of 0.05, so my consultant would answer your question with a yes
And I have high proinsulin but low insulin?!I had negative GAD, diagnosed T1 after C-Peptide test result of 0.05, so my consultant would answer your question with a yes
What units were used for your c-peptide test?But my c-peptide is 3.13 which is also normal
Proinsulin is an immature insulin and I was tested for it with my c-peptide but the weird thing is my insulin was low at first I was on oral medication ( Metformin) didn't really work then I was on ( Sulfonylureas) i responded to it very fast my doctor assumed it was mody but then after 2 months I slowly stopped responding to it so my doctor put me on insulin and insulin works really fine for me it lowers my BG more than the oral medication that's why I'm kind of concerned I really want to know what type am I?I have been diabetic for almost ten years, I’ve read a gazillion posts on here and have never heard of proinsulin, how/why were you tested for your proinsulin levels? If your Cpep is normal, your GAD negative, Assuming you have a high Hba1c? Perhaps you have type two? Are you hopeful you have type one? Technically I’ve had both and wouldn’t recommend either lol
Ng/ml in the test it's written 1.1_4.4 is normalWhat units were used for your c-peptide test?
A normal result is between 0.5 to 2.0 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL), or 0.2 to 0.8 nanomoles per liter (nmol/L).
The c-peptide is interpreted by a specialist. The lab range is not a diagnosis. A normal result is between 0.5 to 2.0 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL) which yours is above which supports type 2. You need to seek medical advice.Ng/ml in the test it's written 1.1_4.4 is normal
I did but even he didn't had an answer for that he was confused why my insulin is so low but my c-peptide is high so it's so frustrating it's like being in between so many circle and being able to relate to any of thoseThe c-peptide is interpreted by a specialist.

But I myself think I'm type one but I'm also insulin resistance BCS I'm kind of overweight and my history has a lot of t1dThe c-peptide is interpreted by a specialist.

I'm puzzled by this as well.he was confused why my insulin is so low but my c-peptide is high
Thank youSome people just don't seem to fit into neat diabetic boxes (T1, T2, T3c , GD etc) and have to wait years for a proper diagnosis of diabetes type. Having read some of the stories from posters here, I also personally think that there are more diabetes types than the officially named ones. The most important thing (in my opinion) is that whatever treatment you get keeps your levels under control.
I'm sorry though, I appreciate your frustration. I know you wanted MODY testing but can't get it where you are but my understanding is that there are a lot of different types of MODY and so even if you got that as a diagnosis you wouldn't necessarily be better off, because the more obscure types are just so rare.
Lots of virtual hugs from New Zealand.
Yes at the same timeI'm puzzled by this as well.
Were they tested at the same time?
C-peptide should tell you how much insulin is produced at a particular moment.
But what about hybrid (double) diabetes?!Some people just don't seem to fit into neat diabetic boxes (T1, T2, T3c , GD etc) and have to wait years for a proper diagnosis of diabetes type.

You are producing enormous amounts of insulin 3.3 ng/ml which isn't supporting type 1. Type 1 is less and 0.5 ng/ml (0.2 nmol/l) on diagnosis (or within the first 3 years.) You need to ask for medical advice.But I myself think I'm type one but I'm also insulin resistance BCS I'm kind of overweight and my history has a lot of t1d
C-peptide refers on producing proinsulin not insulin but yeah thank you guys so muchYou are producing enormous amounts of insulin 3.3 ng/ml which isn't supporting type 1. Type 1 is less and 0.5 ng/ml (0.2 nmol/l) on diagnosis (or within the first 3 years.) You need to ask for medical advice.
