Test Details
The C-peptide response to glucose test is a medical test used to evaluate the functioning of the pancreas, specifically the production of insulin. It measures the level of C-peptide in the blood after the administration of glucose.
During the test, the patient is given a glucose solution to drink. Blood samples are then taken at specific intervals, usually at baseline (before glucose administration) and at various time points after glucose ingestion, such as 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours, and 5 hours.
The C-peptide is a byproduct of insulin production. When the pancreas releases insulin in response to increased blood glucose levels, equimolar amounts of C-peptide are also released. Therefore, measuring C-peptide levels can provide an indirect assessment of insulin production.
By analyzing the C-peptide levels over time, doctors can determine how well the pancreas is responding to glucose and producing insulin. This test is commonly used in the diagnosis and management of diabetes mellitus, as it helps differentiate between type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
The specific interpretation of the C-peptide response to glucose test results may vary depending on the individual patient and the clinical context. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a comprehensive understanding of the test results and their implications.
