Postprandial C-peptide is more relevant to hemoglobin A1c levels and diabetic microvascular complications than fasting C-peptide in type 2 diabetes
This study indicates that higher levels of CP indices suggest better glucose control and a lower prevalence of diabetic microvascular complications, and PCP indices, particularly 2hCP/PBG, were more relevant to HbA1c and diabetic microvascular complications than FCP indices. These results suggest CP-related indices could be useful biomarkers for diabetes management, warranting further research.
