&lt;h2&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #33cccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Overview&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #808080;&quot;&gt;C-peptide, present in serum, is a crucial marker for assessing insulin production within the body. It is generated during the processing of proinsulin into insulin within the pancreas. Because insulin and C-peptide are produced in equal amounts, measuring C-peptide levels in the blood provides valuable insights into the body&#39;s natural insulin secretion. This assessment is particularly useful in diagnosing and managing diabetes, as it helps evaluate pancreatic function and distinguish between endogenous insulin production and exogenous insulin administration.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #33cccc;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;WHAT IS IT USED FOR?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #808080;&quot;&gt;Identifying factitious hypoglycemia caused by covert insulin administration&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #808080;&quot;&gt;Screening for potential insulinoma&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #808080;&quot;&gt;Using the C-peptide suppression test as a proxy to determine whether the body&#39;s natural insulin secretion can be suppressed during diagnostic insulin-induced hypoglycemia&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #808080;&quot;&gt;Evaluation of insulin secretory function in specific diabetic patients:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #808080;&quot;&gt;Evaluating remaining endogenous insulin secretory capacity&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #808080;&quot;&gt;Monitoring pancreatic and islet cell transplant effectiveness&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #808080;&quot;&gt;Tracking immunomodulatory therapy&#39;s impact on slowing the progression of preclinical or early-stage type 1 diabetes mellitus&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
