What Is a C-Peptide Test?
C-peptide is produced when the pancreas makes insulin. When insulin is produced, C-peptide is released into the blood along with it.
Measuring C-peptide can therefore provide information about the body’s own insulin production.
The test may be useful when a doctor wants to understand how much insulin the pancreas is producing.
Fasting C-Peptide Test
The fasting C-Peptide test is performed after the required fasting period specified by your doctor or laboratory.
Price: ₹1,150
Fasting testing can help assess insulin production under fasting conditions.
Post C-Peptide Test
The post C-Peptide test is performed after eating or according to the specific timing instructed by your doctor or laboratory.
Price: ₹1,100
The exact timing of the post-meal sample is important, so follow the instructions given when booking the test.
Why Is a C-Peptide Test Done?
A doctor may recommend C-peptide testing when evaluating or monitoring problems related to insulin production.
It may help with:
- Assessing the body’s own insulin production
- Evaluating different types of diabetes
- Investigating unusually low or high blood sugar
- Understanding pancreatic insulin production
- Supporting evaluation of certain diabetes-related conditions
C-peptide results should be interpreted together with blood glucose levels, medical history and other relevant tests.
C-Peptide and Diabetes
C-peptide testing can sometimes help doctors distinguish between conditions where the pancreas produces different amounts of insulin.
For example, people with very low insulin production may have low C-peptide levels, while measurable or higher levels may indicate that the pancreas is still producing insulin.
A C-peptide result alone does not diagnose a specific type of diabetes.
Fasting vs Post C-Peptide Test
The main difference is the condition under which the sample is collected.
| Test | Price | Sample Condition |
|---|---|---|
| C-Peptide Fasting | ₹1,150 | After fasting as instructed |
| C-Peptide Post | ₹1,100 | After eating, at the instructed time |
Your doctor can advise which test is appropriate based on your medical requirements.
Does the C-Peptide Test Require Fasting?
For the fasting C-peptide test, fasting is required according to the instructions provided by your doctor or laboratory.
For the post C-peptide test, the sample is collected according to a specified post-meal timing.
Always confirm the exact preparation and timing with the diagnostic centre before giving the sample.
How Is the C-Peptide Test Done?
A small blood sample is collected from a vein, usually from the arm. The sample is then sent to the laboratory for analysis.
Depending on the reason for testing, your doctor may request C-peptide together with blood glucose or other diabetes-related tests.
