## Overview
The C-Peptide fasting test helps distinguish between insulin produced by the body (endogenous) and insulin given as medication (exogenous). It's useful in diagnosing insulinomas and monitoring pancreatic or islet cell transplants. In Type 1 diabetes, C-Peptide is significantly reduced or absent, while in Type 2 diabetes, levels may vary. This test also evaluates beta-cell function and hypoglycemia types. Fasting is required for accurate results.

## Preparation Required
Overnight fasting is preferred.

### What is a C-Peptide (Fasting) Test?

A C-Peptide (Fasting) Test is a blood test that measures the level of C-peptide, a substance released by the pancreas when it produces insulin. Since C-peptide and insulin are released in equal amounts, this test helps doctors understand how much insulin your body is making naturally.

The test is often advised for testing the ability to produce insulin, differentiating between type 1 and type 2 diabetes, and examining the causes of hypoglycemia. Fasting before the test is beneficial for obtaining more reliable results.
