LOINC description : Measurement of baseline and stimulated C-peptide (after glucagon or a mixed meal challenge)
provides a sensitive and clinically validated assessment of beta-cell function for
type 1 diabetes patients. This is important as retention of beta-cell function in
patients with type 1 diabetes is known to result in improved glycemic control and
reduced hypoglycemia, retinopathy, and nephropathy. [PMID: 14693724];
