C-peptide is an important indicator of your diabetes health and one of the most important of all diabetes biomarkers. A C peptide test can help tell you:
-What type of diabetes are you actually living with?
-Are you living with autoimmune diabetes (type 1 diabetes or type 1.5 diabetes)?
-How much damage have your beta cells accumulated over time?
-What are your chances of reversing prediabetes or type 2 diabetes without the need for exogenous insulin?
-Can you fully reverse prediabetes or type 2 diabetes?

Plant based diet made mine and my sister’s diabetes worse with blood sugars between 200 and 400. The only eating plan which keeps our blood sugar under 100 is keto/carnivore with an injection of some leafy greens. For us, non-fiber carbs have been thrown out the window. Bread, pasta, rice and potatoes were detrimental to our health. Here’s an example: in fall of 2019, we began a keto diet and lost 70 lbs or more and brought blood sugar under control. In January 2021, we decided to go plant based and as of February 2022, we were both close to 30 lbs heavier with erratic blood sugars and A1C at 9.3. We went back on Keto/carnivore beginning March 2022 and the extra weight is coming off and A1C is down to 5.7. We absolutely cannot eat carbs unless they are mostly fiber.
Same thing here. Found out I was type 1.5. Needed insulin.
Going plant-based isn't a license to eat all the pasta rice and potatoes that we can get her hands on. You still want to limit your carbs especially at the beginning and monitor blood glucose levels.
Unfortunately, keto diets eventually end up in insulin resistance, unless you are running marathons everyday. Additionally, all that animal protein and fat will increase cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, autoimmune disease, etc. Facts. Sources, Mastering diabetes, the starch Solution, preventing and reversing heart disease, the china study, the bible, etc.etc.
I have type 2 diabetes. My Dr. has my C-Peptide checked with other labwork. Thanks for all this great information explaining C-Peptide, it was very helpful.
This is the best video that discusses c-peptide and antibodies. I wish all doctorsors would just get this c peptide and antibodies test done so they can better treat their patients. Instead, i have to ask my doctor for these tests. It just boggles my mind why these tests aren’t part of a regular check on diabetic patients.
You guys have seriously changed my life. I was having issues at night that caused my doctor to order a c-peptide test and found out I have insulin resistance (c-peptide was 4.5) this video explained what this means SO WELL! I could never really understand what exactly this meant and when I went a few weeks ago and was told I should begin regularly checking my sugar and that’s when I found you guys. Thank you so much for all the information you share!
Wow, this is incredible. More than I got from the whole system of GP and Endocrinologist together. I'm prediabetic, and on whole food plant-based diet with a1c around 5.5-5.9, and fasting glucose 105. I take metformin 1500/day just for good measure. Doc says nowadays the the fasting at 105 is borderline. So far, we wait and do the diet/exercise, but great to know where to go from here should things turn worse. Thanks, guys!!!!
I did strict diet under your recommendations for 90 days and Dr ken berry diet recommendations and under your plant base diet I still need insulin and the other diet I needed none after 20 days.
Your diet my A1c was 7.1
Ken berry diet 6.1
Awesome information Robby! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Great information. My mom was diagnosed with type2 diabetes 20 years ago. Wish I had this information then, as I still think she was misdiagnosed. Will definitely use this information from now on. Thanks to your entire team for sharing your knowledge.
I am a RN that has many roles at this point i my 30 year career. as a primary focus of my time in my outreach work. My primary focus is on metabolic syndrome and understanding environmental and cultural impacts on its medical diagnosis. your work in this video is indispensable in my work .
Thank you so much, and I was unaware of this test( C-Peptide). GOD BLESS.
Your knowledge is brilliant! Concisely explained. Thanks so much for your work!
Nicely explained, great job!👍
Thank you for sharing this in-depth and easily understood information. I am going to schedule an islet and fasting/stimulated c-peptide test. Up until now I have been guided by my hba1c blood glucose measurement. This test approach provides so much more information and accuracy.
Great video.....really useful...thank you very much sir...
God bless you
Good job guys...Thank you
Thankyou for this vedio!
I'm a biochemistry student, i was never taught about this c peptide testing in diabetes diagnosis. But I wanted to learn more about diabetes. Thanks to you I've learned a lot! I will share this vedio to my fellow classmates too!
Insulin resistance in your cells does not increase due to HIGH FAT feeding, insulin resistance increases due to too many carbs and constantly flooding your body with sugar. Fats have minimal effect on insulin levels so please explain to me how that would contribute to increasing insulin resistance in the cells.
After seven years of being diagnosed with type 1, taken only long acting insulin (20 units) my a1c was never above 6 except at initial diagnosis. Now after I watched your video and talked to my doctor I got my results back with 2.1 c peptide, and all antibodies were negative. I will start oral meds this week and hopefully with exercise and low fat diet I hope I will live free from them damn hurtful shuts 😢. I will give your method for one month and will keep you all posted. Wish me a good luck.
Update: now for 3 month without insulin, thanks to your videos, I am free from insulin. Just low dose of metformin. A1C of 6. Hopefully the next step is diet and exercise. Thanks 🙏 for these great videos
Hello Shamekh power ! R you type 1 diabetic and you leave insulin you use metaforim is that really ? Iam also diabetic but I don't know which type when I was 13 years old am a diabetic petient , but now I want to c peptide test ,
Low carb diet is much more important than low fat...
Hello. Good for you. Can I ask you, what are your glucose levels al fasting and post? thnks
@@949hiker Low carb gave me prediabetes...
how?@@NinorahDeux
Do you have a video on the different types of antibodies (GAD,etc)and how to interpret the results
Another great video. Thanks for all the information.
i am glad i found this video my cpep test is scheduled for may. my doctor was reluctant unti i told her my fasting glucose lvls were over 100 every day 😢
Just found out I've been walking around for years with misdiagnosed type 1.5 diabetes because the several doctors I saw during that time were all too lazy to run this or a fasting insulin test and insisted I had type 2. Thanks docs!
very useful information ever heard, thankyou
explanations and proofs about c-peptide, mainly the explanation of stimulated c-peptide and fasting c-peptide. thank you very much.
What great information, wish I would have know this years ago!
Mastering Diabetes I developed Neuroendocrine Cancer in my 20’s but it was miss diagnosed until last year 2017 ( I was 47) my dominate tumor was in my pancreas( PNet, same cancer Steve Jobs and Aretha Franklin has) During that 20+ years the cancer ate up and used up my pancreas. All that time Drs said I was type 2 and never believed me that nothing they gave me was working. They only saw my body size but thank goodness I ate so well and took care of myself that I am alive today. Sadly because of the strain on my body I have Lupus on top of cancer, t3c diabetes, Hypothyroidism, and a very long list of other conditions. If I had know what test to ask for I would be in better shape today. Now what little bit of a pancreas left, I have to take insulin and Creon. I also no long make glucagon so it is very scary if my sugar drops in my sleep because I have no way to recover unless I eat. I just take each day as the gift it is and celebrate life with family, friends, and real food 💜

This is very good information.
Yes most of the video, My father is diabetic, I have been searching for info in diferent parts, my father doesn't use insuline but we use chlorine dioxide or mms that controlls the levels of sugar, also I recommend you to look some info about dr sebi and sea water properties that is the most complete food in the world since contains all minerals an many more.
It helped a lot
Excellent. Is these tests are only offered for the USA patients living in the USA?
How much does this test? Thanks
I need test this video.

Much relief after going through this stuff. Stress no doubt affects my blood sugar levels ruclips.net/user/postUgkx6Cu3qDh3FB7umUbfXaU7hDAHrqvwQyNk Taking a walk usually help bring them down. Eating sweets is not my favorite, but if i take a large portion of them, my blood sugar level rises high. I think it's the high concentration of the glucose flowing into the bloodstream all at once. This is a lesson worth taking note of. This is a great material to learn from.
Is there anyway I can obtain a image or copy of your c-peptide / autoantibody chart that is shown towards the end please? I’m getting my c-peptide, GAD-65, IA2 and insulin autoantibodies thru a private self pay company tomorrow. Thank you in advance!
In a situation where I have been identified as having insulin resistance, but no elevated blood glucose and no elevated A1c, but having weight gain, to the point where it isn't even being called PRE-diabetes, do these references still apply? I only have 1 C-Peptide result, but I have the Fasting Insulin, Fasting Glucose, and Fasting A1c tests from the same timeframe. I'm trying to determine if I need to dig into this further. I don't remember those particular antibodies tests, but I've had SO MANY of those that I couldn't even be certain anymore...
Hello is it possible to still have diabetes even though A1C has been good 5.0 for last 4 blood tests and the current one . I’m wondering if I have it be a use of having many symptoms . I’m going to order a C peo fide test . Or should I not bother if aic is so good ? Thanks
Cyrus and Roby what can you say about my I got today it is 2.59
very interesting
I raised my C-peptide from .8 to 1.03 using WFPB diet and 5-day water fasting
Really
Your contact number
Congratulations!!
what part of southern south america was Cyrus at in this video?
I am confused. I tested positive for IAA Insulin autoantibodies (IAA). But my C peptide were in normal range. What could thing mean? also my ac1 is 4.8
What are the names of these antibodies? I am using the RequestATest website.
Based on your recommendation I had my Cpep tested a couple of months ago.
The range is from 0.9-7 and my value is 1. I had thought my Pancreas was compromised because my fasting blood glucose is low 74-80 but my AiC is still borderline high 6%.
My damage has been caused by 30 years of Steroid (Prednisone) use for COPD (lifetime non smoker)
The only reason that I am not on supplemental insulin, is because I follow the way of eating the you recommend, which has allowed me to become insulin sensitive, but I am aware that in time I will need supplemental insulin.
Thanks for all that you do your advice is priceless.
0.8 is my c-peptide current to date
@@estherbarnett-krause3494 Do you have to inject insulin?
@@JD-59 only when I'm really sick then it is the case
Is 1 not good on a c-peptide test though. Mine is 1 as well
My 7YO was diagnosed type 1 this year. He will eat all the fruits but isn't a big veggie fan for the most part. We currently eat a paleo diet, so he gets a lot of veggies but he's not a big fan. His most recent A1C was 6.2, he was over 11 at diagnosis and in diabeticketo acidosis. I have no idea if these tests were run on him but I'll be looking into it.

My c-peptide was 1.8 and I have high blood glucose levels my doctor is stumped and sending me to an endocrinologist. I wish I had the anti body test...
Not diabetic But very educational and I will share this with diabetics I know, If they wanna listen.
Great explanation, helped me make sense of things.
I'm a little different from the chart though, I have a fasting c-peptide of 0.5 with multiple anti-bodies and I don't need insulin. I do a low carb version of the whole food plant based diet, so my insulin resistence is low and I don't spike after a meal from carb intake. Have been this way for 2 years.
Graeham yes this is my question, if i eat very low carb will the CPeptide not automatically be extra low when I test 🤔
What mean low carb for you?
@@contrarian717did you get an answer to this?
@@Zqosh no. But I didn't chase this further anyway. My fasting insulin and A1c is fine, I eat non spikey food. I feel good.And I leave it at that.
what is the correct reference range for C-peptide test , some tell reference ranges to be 0.79-1.89 ng/dL and some say it is 0.48 to 5.05 ng/dL ? which one is correct ?
Here is a great article to learn more about how to interperet your c-peptide: www.masteringdiabetes.org/c-peptide-diabetes-test/#t-1643260428548
After listening to your video , lm wondering if l ever have been tested ..?
How can l find my 1.5 diagnoses test on my lab work ? I had always taken the docs word for it , now l want to go back in my labs and look for these tests ? How do l find them ?
Can you guys do a video on Triglycerides and maybe HDL? My Cholestrel dropped 25 points, LDL dropped 10 points and my A1C dropped from 7.1 to 5.4 after going plant based for 3 weeks. Its just my HDL fell from 50 to 33 and my Triglycerides increased from 170 to 232. I've seen a lot of people who have high Triglycerides from doing a high carb low fat vegan diet. Thanks!
Dont follow these idiots !! move to keto diet
I will absolutely do a C-Peptide test ASAP as I have been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes for the past 4 years .. But can you please spell out exactly the other test you mention ? Is it "eyelet" antibody test or "islet" antibody test ? Or spelled out different all together ? I would very much appreciate you help ..
Thank you
Ask for the GADA test along with C-Peptide.
How come six months ago my CPeptide indicated my pancreas was "dead," according to my doctor, and last week it's NORMAL? I don't think my doctor (endocrinologist) knows shit from shinola about anything.
I'm on diabetic medication. Please advice how long do I need to stop taking the diabetic medicine before I do the c peptic test. Metformin and statin had been prescribed.
How about MODY type ?
#masteringdiabetes Hello can you please talk about vegan sources of long chain omega 3's. And what about supplements made of algae oil? And sometimes these supplements have high-oleic sunflower oil? Are these supplements diabetics should avoid? Thank you for your help

Could you please put a number range for low, medium and high c peptide levels (fasting)? Thank you so much. Loved the video, very informative.
@@MasteringDiabetes the video said below 1.0 ng/ml is low ?
@@MasteringDiabetes But, Healthline and WebMD says the normal range is 0.5 - 2.0 ng/ml. Why does the Mastering Diabetes program consider less than 1.0 as low?
C peptide 2.05 and GAD antibody 6.5 and IA2 16.9 my diabetese type is? Is it reversible?
Dang. Having diabetic labs done tomorrow (including C-peptide) because of symptoms I suspect are diabetes. I also have a very strong family history for diabetes and other autoimmune diseases, and I am lean, so I would suspect LADA. Not what I wanted to know.

Wats ur results
What should i do
My c-peptide after around 16h fasting was 212pmol/l (0.64 ng/mL), A1C 26mmol/mol (4.5%), fasting glucose 4.61(83.12), after 2h glucose tolerance test 5.2(93.75). The tests were taken 4years ago after being 2+ years plant + fungus exclusive at that time, mostly whole foods. Can diabetes be rule out by this info? Thank you.
yes
Hi Robby around 13:20 mins you said the optimal function of beta cell can never be restored ...by any means it is possible to restore even if we follw strict low fat plant based diet as long as we can continue even after diebetes reversed? please take my question? what os test to check how much beta cell are working ? also please tell what is the normal and healthy range of c-peptide value...???🙏
What is a c peptide fasting 1.4 is that low or high?
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?
Do u think u would find any need of getting a c peptide test having T1 for 23 years?
Hi I have type 2 I just had my blood test results today and I am 3.14 what does it mean
I have had about 6 blood tests for cholesterol diabetes blood pressure but I believe with a plant based nutrition things will change FAST
I have very high c-peptide what should I do
I don’t understand that chart at the end. It says that for the Negative Antibody Test row, any level of C-Peptide indicates some form of Type 2 diabetes?
My understanding is that this chart applies after you have been diagnosed with diabetes (say, based on high blood sugars and/or A1c) and you want to determine the type of diabetes you have
The only thing : the amount of protein and another nutrients must be adjusted to personal demand . And low fat , depend of the fats … This video is older than the last studies about the discussion of the paradigma of saturated fat and Iwe would recommend also flexitarian diet to offer all important nutrients making diet complete and balanced. Again , five years ago the concept and studies about Mediterranean and Flexitarian was not yet so popular as today . We cannot forget the importance to adjust nutrients to brain and immune system, specially essential fats and all aas to reach them.
Each person has personal requirements. The presence of another diseases can dictate also additional adjustments in terms of macro and micronutrients.
Diabetes is quite serious. All nutrients are demanded.
I am normal weight, active, walk an hr a day, eat lots of fruits, vegetables and whole grains, no processed foods, but my FBS have been 99-100, A1C 5.9, 6.1, C peptide 0.9, negative for antibodies, insulin fasting 3.3. What can I do to improve my A1C, increase my C peptide level and help my beta cells function better? Thanks for your help.
Low carb mate. Got to keep insulin, sugar down. What this video says is not for everyone
My cpeptide is .41 ngml....what should I understand
I have c peptide of 0.02... is it type1?
My c peptide was .66 with a fasting glucose of 90. My issue is hypoglycemia I did 3 hr ogtt and had normal results until the third hour with a glucose level of 34. Still no answers on what is going on
Why low fat diet reverse the type 2 diabetes??? Then you have to replace it with carbs that a major driver of t2 diabetes. The only way to reverse t2 diabetes is high fat very low carb, moderate protein combined with intermittent fasting.
That diet does not cure diabetes or insulin resistance. It just avoids it and makes it worse in the long run.
@@HelenWLee You're absolutely wrong.
@@rjrnj1 Watch Mastering Diabetes´ videos and read on the website and maybe you can learn why a high fat low carb diet is not curing the cause, just removes symptoms but increases insuline resistance.

Hi bro my cepiptide fasting test is 2.58 ng .where normal was (1.1_44) am 37 years old with positve GAD test which type of diabetes am living with please
Did you ever get an answer? I have the same results.
Probably indicates type 1.5 LADA. You’re type 2 but will turn into type 1 eventually. Could take months or years.
I was diagnosed as autoimmune Type 1 after rapid onset and hospitalization seven years ago. Last week I had bloodwork done, and my C-Peptide level is 0.27 ng/ml. Does this mean that I am still producing a tiny amount of insulin on my own? How is it possible to be producing any insulin at all at this point?
The only thing you missed was insulinopenia, which may be more common than you think. It is low insulin without antibodies, and may not include insulin resistance.
I asked my doctor about the test, and she just shrugged it off as if it was not important. Looks like I'm going to have to get the test on my own.
Get a different doctor

- A1c 5,44%
- Insuline 3,07 uUI/ml
- C Telopeptide 0,829 ng/ml

How about getting a "Fasting Insulin" Test instead of an HgA1c? I recently heard another doctor talking about it!
I think you're referring to a HOMA-IR test
@@JShmoe, No, I am not. The Fasting Insulin test is a separate test. I am going to have it soon since my A1C(5.9) and FPG (93)don't match. My PCP gave me the lab order and it had its own CPT code. My understanding of the HOMA-IR test is that its made up from your A1C and your FPG results.

This video by far one of the most valuable videos I have watched since I have been following the Ketogenic lifestyle for 6 months with very low progress. I have gone from injecting 150 units of Lantus to 40 units today. My numbers are above 100 so I know i am not where i need to be but i am leaning on the less insulin side to lose weight. As losing weight will help with insulin resistance. Diabetics are just not being treated correctly. The lack of knowledge out among the general public is insufficiant. When people are eating what they want and going for blood work the dr perscribes insulin at the blink of an eye. He wants A1C down. The c-peptide test has never been done for me. I will will be paying for my own c-peptide. We pay thousands of $ to insurance co. One c-peptide test was denied be my primary care. Sorry this is unacceptable. Sorry for the long post.
