C-Peptide Post Prandial

Postprandial C-peptide likely reflects maximal insulin secretion induced by a combination of postprandial hyperglycemia and incretin effects, compared with fasting C-peptide. Besser et al. have reported that in patients with T1DM, 90 min postprandial C-peptide value is highly correlated with peak C-peptide value and area under the curve (AUC) of C-peptide during a mixed-meal tolerance test, which is that the gold-standard measure of endogenous insulin secretion in T1DM . Intriguingly, it’s been reported that postprandial C-peptide index was more closely correlated with cell mass in humans compared with fasting C-peptide index. These results suggest that postprandial C-peptide reflects maximal cell functional capacity
