• C-peptide - The Secret...
C-peptide test is an important test that is largely unknown. When people think of the most important test for diabetes, they usually think of the A1c test. But a c-peptide test is actually more important in many cases because it can help a person find out if they are living with type 1.5 diabetes or if they are living with insulin dependent type 2 diabetes. C-peptide is commonly used for the very clear distinction between type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes.

C-peptide is released into the blood as a byproduct of the production of insulin. This substance can be a game changer for many people living with diabetes. In this video you will see how Ann discovering her c-peptide saved her life. We have seen this happen in other clients as well. If you don't know your c-peptide level and are having trouble controlling your blood glucose, it may be a good idea to get it tested.
I've been struggling with my diagnosis of type 2 diabetes for the last 4 years and two hospitalizations. My story is nearly identical to yours. I finally went to an endocrinologist and had the C-Peptide tested. I was at less than 0.1 (range 0.8-3.8). I just got these results today.
I am another one of MANY ppl misdiagnosed as type 2 when in fact I was LADA type 1. I also had to ask for tests. We did the GAD antibodies test, not the c-peptide, but that was enough to confirm autoimmune diabetes. The lack of curiosity my doctor showed was super alarming in retrospect when I was in the same boat of not being able to eat ANYTHING without going high. Doctors need to know that type 1 can hit at any age and any weight! Sooo many assumptions are made when they see an adult who might be overweight coming in with high blood glucose. It’s infuriating :)
I was extremely lucky to have a tremendous diabetic consultant who knew I was type 1 LADA straight away , I’m very grateful for that
This is such an important video. It needs to be shared far and wide.
I am so happy that I am not the only one to go through exactly what you have.
Great 👍 congratulations
Except for gestational diabetes you are exactly telling my story. 0.8 c-peptide. Low to no carb diet still makes my blood sugar levels go high. I am just starting this journey this week. I had to insist that the blood tests be done. I kept telling the doctor something was wrong, very wrong. Well, there sure is and the blood tests prove it.
I had high prolactin with out ever being pregnant and my insulin was high too. No doctor had kept track so now I got a bunch of blood work done and protein sensitivity test and my triglicéridos were high but my blood sugar dropped randomly everyday no matter what I did and both my HDL and LDL are high so for now I think I have opposite than you.
Well, if you are on insulin of course you can eat high fruit and lots of beans. Sadly my fasting c peptide is lower than this lady. I am negative on autoimmune markers. I keep my blood glucose in Check by weighing 98 lbs at 5’2 and eating raw foods. It’s very tough but I am fighting the outside insulin to the bitter end.
I m really happy for this lady , congratulations !👏👏👏
One thing , she said she was on a vegan keto diet but didn't work ... I think she was on an unhealthy Vegan diet cause now she Is eating the same thing like beans greens fruits or am i wrong 🤔
( dont get me wrong , im not promoting keto or high fat or something just a doubt )
Mastering Diabetes got it , thank you for your response 👍🙏
2021 my C-peptide was at 7.00 ng/ml , 2024 Started to feel thirsty all the time and with kind of active life style still was having high diabetes reading of 240+. Repeated my C-Peptide and its 1.79 ng/ml even though ref range is 1.1-4.4. My Doctor thinks its a LADA, I am waiting for GAD anti Body test results. Doctor asked me to use Gliclazide tablet 40 MG along with Metformin 2000MG a day. Got some protein in urine as well.
So did you have no antibodies??
I hate fanatics, I hate commercial disguised as information. If yo take insulin, You have lost vegan or not is meaningless.
what about low c peptide on keto , with HBA!C at 5.4 and fasting glucose of 88 ? no need for the body to produce insulin if you are eating low carb and exercising.. I feel great !
The problem is that eating a ketogenic diet significantly increase your risk for chronic disease and premature death in the long-term. Read this: https//www.masteringdiabetes.org/ketosis-ketogenic-diets-misleading/
Update, c peptude was 93. I had to convert it from the European measurements. 31 is actually. 93 in UsA
@@jackieburns5257 You feel very good on keto...until you crash. It can take 10 years until it happens, but as i lived it, i can tell you it's brutal. And probably not return back.
@@NinorahDeux you probably need a thorough check up/ blood panel
@@jackieburns5257 I did, and i can tell you it's not good, and worse, when you return to normal food (brown rice, 150 grams of carbs per day, no sugar, sport, very thin...), results continue to worsen: i developped polyneuropathy one month after quitting keto, it's a sign of real diabetes. My blood panels already showed prediabetes, while before keto my BG was perfect.
Hello I just got my blood test results for C-Peptide and Insulin. Both of these were fasting results, C-Peptide is 3.0 ng/ml and Insulin is 16.6 uIU/ml. So, what does this mean? Thank you.
A 3.0 ng/ml indicates that your pancreas is healthy and you're producing sufficient insulin. If you're still having blood sugar issues, then the problem is that your insulin sensitivity is lacking - this puts you in type 2 territory. Good news, Type 2 is easily reversible. Just go on a low-fat, high carb plant-based diet. If you stick to this diet, your blood sugar will normalize within 6 weeks. Many such cases.
You should have stopped after 'good news' and surely have omitted 'easily', let alone giving disputable diet advice.
@@KJ-um1gq Easily reversible? You don't know a damn thing about diabetes if you think that's the case.
I’m very frustrated because I’m a very lean and active middle age woman. I even do competitive natural body building as a hobby. So I get my bloodwork done periodically to monitor my thyroid etc..So I’ve had my c-peptide ordered twice not really knowing what it was. The first time was 1/21/20 and it was 0.56ng/ml and recently on 8/27/20 and it was 0.77 ng/ml. I was put on Metformin 500mg QD-BID depending on need because my fasting blood glucose was 99 with the latest being 91. I’m at a lost and struggling with the new thought that I could very possibly have LADA (Type 1.5). 🤯. I guess the next step is to get the diabetic autoimmune antibodies panel done correct? Thank you 🙏🏽
How did your test turn out?
are you eating lean or more animal based?
@@nirvana328 Both. I eat a lots of veggies and lean proteins. Some carbs but limited fats.
@@tstltstl So sorry but I’m barely seeing this. I honestly have been too afraid to take it. I just don’t think I’m mentally ready to know and accept it. I know that sounds silly but it’s how I feel. 😓
I am not a Doctor but with my limited knowledge it is type1.5 as your fasting cpeptide values are less than 0.82ng/ ml
😢 omg this is so me! C peptide is .45. I’m not alone
My fasting insulin is 4 uu/ml, is it LADA???? what insulin level comes in LADA type diabetes, both fasting and pp????? Please answer doc...
What is that C- Peptide test?
@@MasteringDiabetes what is the normal nnumber?
@@MasteringDiabetes thanks so much
So it sounds like you have trouble with fats more than carbs. What about avocado or coconut?
So in general if someone is insulin resistant and they keep their fat intake down, the insulin they have can be more effective.
So for type 2 how does total body fat seems to make this worse?
My c peptide fasting is 1.12ng/ml and reference range is 1.10-5.00 NG /ml... My hba1c is 7.9as per expected value its fair control.... My fasting came some time 130 sometime 164.
.ita type 2 or 1.5 pls guide what diet I can follow i dnt want insulin...
See this page: www.masteringdiabetes.org/c-peptide-diabetes-test/. You have to be really strict with diet and exercise if you want to have a chance to avoid insulin. You've also to be careful about not triggering any autoimmune reaction that may finish off your beta-cells.
Do healthy clean keto. Lower carb, good high fat and moderate protein. U can reverse your diabetic by doing that. I am sure you will see a great results. Stay safe and healthy 🙏 . Do not restrict yourself to fruits or vegetables only
That is for sure another name for starvation. Have quality healthy nutrition food by lowering your carb in take. This theory of them (eating high carb fruits and vegetables) is super wrong. Disbetic regardless of being 1 or 2 or 1.5 means allergy to carb. U do not go and pour a gasoline on fire!!!!! Stay safe and healthy
Just CRAP Talk....& NOTHING else 😂
Sure do 1.
I have been fasting for about 93 hours. I feel good. But my blood glucose (in the 200 to 250 range without meds before fast) still has not fallen below 144 mg/dl. I would have thought that after 72 hours or so there would be no stored glycogen and that liver gluconeogenesis would have ended. Where is the blood glucose coming from?
From breaking down your lean mass and from glycerol and acetone. You can't starve your body of glucose.
you also release glucose from your liver and muscles which is stored as glycogen. and you have to remember you may also have insulin resistance so you body will also have high sugars until it is more sensitive to insulin
