The C-Peptide – PP test measures the levels of C-peptide and pancreatic polypeptide (PP) in the blood, providing insight into pancreatic function. C-peptide is a byproduct of insulin production, reflecting the body’s natural insulin secretion, while PP is a hormone secreted by pancreatic islet cells that regulates pancreatic secretion and gastrointestinal activity. This test helps differentiate between type 1 and type 2 diabetes, assess beta-cell function, monitor insulin therapy effectiveness, and evaluate pancreatic disorders. Abnormal levels may indicate insulin deficiency, pancreatic tumors, or metabolic dysfunction.
