Identify insulin resistance. Monitor the amount of insulin produced by the beta cells in the pancreas (endogenous); in this case, a C-peptide test may also be done. Insulin and C-peptide are produced by the body at the same rate as part of the conversion of proinsulin to insulin in the pancreas.
The insulin C-peptide test (or simply the C-peptide test) is used to monitor insulin production in the body and determine the cause of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar). The test is often ordered when someone is newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, to reveal how much insulin the pancreas is producing.
