[QUOTE="chalup, post: 1236134, member: 306126"] The fasting c-peptide test tells how much insulin you are producing. If it is very high like in my case but you are still having very high BS like I was, it means you are very insulin resistant. The last thing I would want to do with my high insulin level is take more insulin or go on a drug that makes the pancreas secrete more. If the c-peptide is very low it means you are not making much insulin and those drugs may be appropriate or it may be time to consider insulin. Some doctors tend to just throw drugs at people without this test and I think that is wrong. [/QUOTE]
