Key Words C-peptide; Hemoglobin A1c; Diabetic microvascular complications; Type 2 diabetes mellitus; Observational study
Core Tip This study highlights postprandial C-peptide (PCP), particularly 2 hours postprandial C-peptide (2hCP)/postprandial blood glucose (PBG), as the strongest predictor of HbA1c in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), surpassing fasting C-peptide (FCP). Higher CP levels correlate with improved glycemic control. Notably, 2hCP independently reduces the risk of diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic peri-neuropathy (DPN), suggesting that β-cell function preservation benefits both glucose management and complications. These findings advocate prioritizing stimulated CP assessments and exploring 2hCP/PBG as a biomarker for tailored diabetes therapies.
