Quick answer
The C-Peptide blood test measures C-peptide, a substance released when the pancreas produces insulin. Because C-peptide and insulin are made together, the level offers a window into how much insulin the body is producing on its own. It is commonly used to evaluate diabetes, episodes of low blood sugar, and some insulin-related conditions.
What this test measures
C-peptide is a small protein that is split from proinsulin when the pancreas makes insulin. For every molecule of insulin released, a molecule of C-peptide is released as well. Measuring C-peptide therefore provides an indirect but reliable estimate of the body's own insulin production, separate from insulin that may have been injected as medication.
The test uses a blood sample, usually drawn from a vein at the arm. In some cases it is collected alongside a glucose measurement or during a fasting evaluation. Results are reported as a concentration, and clinicians often compare the C-peptide level with the glucose level to interpret the relationship between insulin production and blood sugar.
Clinicians may order C-peptide to help distinguish between types of diabetes, to investigate hypoglycemia, or to check whether the pancreas is still producing insulin. It can also be used to evaluate a suspected insulinoma or to monitor a known condition. The result is interpreted with other tests and clinical findings, not on its own.
