C Peptide (Random)

A C-Peptide (Random) Test measures the amount of C-peptide in a blood sample collected at any time of the day, without requiring you to fast beforehand.

C-peptide is a byproduct created when the pancreas produces insulin. Insulin and C-peptide are released into the bloodstream in equal amounts. Therefore, measuring C-peptide acts as an accurate mirror, showing exactly how much insulin your body is naturally producing.
