cpeptide pmol/L 584 591 329
hba1c 75 75 60

these are the last three test results the 329 and 60 were this month the 591 75 was February what do they mean please

The slightly lower HbA1c this month means that there’s been an improvement over the last 3 months in your glucose levels.

This is all just conjecture as I’m not a medically trained professional.

These look like high C Peptide and high HbA1c levels to me. It’s a typical diabetic type 2 picture.

Not sure I agree about the cpeptide (but I'm not a medical professional either).

The hba1cs are easy tounderstand. They reflect your average blood sugar over the last 3 months and that has gone down from
11.7mmol/L to 9,6mmol/L

Since June 2011, the way HbA1c values are reported has switched from a percentage to a measurement in mmols/mol.

The cpeptide is much more difficult to interpret, though I can confirm it does measure how much insulin your body is producing.

C-peptide test can tell if you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Uncover how it works and what it means to have high or low levels.

This article suggests that a normal range is 260-1270pmol/L if fasting and 3000-9000pmol/L after a meal. (Though I suspect the after meal result assumes you aren't eating a low carb diet).

The lowish (?) cpeptide might explain why @teddybear74 is on insulin, though I have no idea whether the decrease is because of a change in diet, reduced insulin resistance or actual failure of their insulin producing cells. (Or something else).

@teddybear74 these are very good questions to ask your medical professionals. Do you have a follow up appointment to discuss the results?
