What is C- peptide 24 Hour Urine Test?

This test determines the level of C-peptide in a blood or urine sample (pee). Measuring C-peptide is an accurate way to determine how much insulin your body produces.

Insulin is a hormone produced by your pancreas. It facilitates the entry of blood glucose (blood sugar) into your cells, where it can be used for energy. This aids in maintaining healthy blood glucose levels.

C-peptide is produced by your pancreas during the insulin production process. C-peptide and insulin enter your bloodstream in equal amounts and at the same time. C-peptide has no effect on blood glucose levels, but it lingers in the blood longer than insulin, making it easier to measure accurately.

Why is it done?

C-peptide test may be required if:

• You've been diagnosed with hypoglycemia (low blood sugar), but you're not sure why.
• You have diabetes and use insulin; your doctor is thinking about changing your treatment.
• You have type 2 diabetes, and your doctor wants to see if you should begin taking insulin.
• Have hypoglycemia, which could be the result of taking too many diabetes medications.
• You've been told you have a pancreatic tumour (insulinoma). A C-peptide test can aid in the monitoring of your condition and treatment.
