C- Peptide (Post Lunch)

Description

The C-Peptide (Post Lunch) test measures the amount of C-peptide in the blood after a meal. C-peptide is produced in equal amounts to insulin, making it a useful marker for insulin production. This test helps doctors evaluate how well the pancreas is producing insulin, which is crucial in diagnosing and managing diabetes. It can also help differentiate between type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and assess the effectiveness of diabetes treatments.
