Question from Chesapeake, Virginia, USA:

I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes four months ago, and my C-peptide was less than 0.2 (undetectable) at diagnosis. Will this ever change?

Answer:

From: DTeam Staff

A C-peptide of 0.2 is extremely low. It might be up some now, but still not enough to you maintain a normal glucose.
