Of course! The C-Peptide PP (Postprandial) test, also known as the “postprandial insulinogenesis assessment,” gauges the blood level of C-peptide following a meal. In response to meal consumption, the pancreas releases C-peptide into the bloodstream at the same time and in the same quantities as insulin. This test, which measures how well the pancreas produces insulin in response to elevated blood glucose levels after meals, is very helpful in assessing the pancreatic function of diabetes patients.
The inclusion of “health heart diagnostics” (HHD) in the C-Peptide PP test description highlights the test’s importance for cardiovascular health, especially for those with diabetes. Maintaining ideal blood glucose levels requires proper postprandial insulin secretion, and deficiencies in this process can raise the risk of
