C peptide [Moles/volume] in Serum or Plasma --5 hours post XXX challenge

C peptide 5h p chal SerPl-sCnc

Definition

  • Measurement of baseline and stimulated C-peptide (after glucagon or a mixed meal) provides a sensitive and clinically validated assessment of beta-cell function for type 1 diabetes patients. This is important as retention of beta-cell function in patients with type 1 diabetes is known to result in improved glycemic control and reduced hypoglycemia, retinopathy, and nephropathy.
