Now c-peptide has no role in diabetes diagnosis, was previously used to add to diagnose Type1 diabetes in which it is very low in these patients but now more reliable and less cumbersome test are available to diagnose type1 DM. In contrast in type2 diabetes in which case there is insulin resistance and we know that c-peptide is released from pancreas along with insulin both may be high or normal.
