🧪 C-Peptide / Glucose Ratio
UseWhen to use: hypoglycemia or insulin-deficiency phenotyping with paired labs.
StrataInterpret with insulin, timing, and assay units — not alone.
LimitsWhen not to use: mismatched sample timing. · Pitfall: nmol/L entered as ng/mL. · Renal failure raises C-peptide.

Unit-sensitive.
When to use
When to use: hypoglycemia or insulin-deficiency phenotyping with paired labs.
How it works
Ratio = (C-peptide ng/mL / glucose mg/dL) × 100.
Key points
- Unit-sensitive.
- Paired draw.
- Next: insulin / etiology workup.

Worked calculation
The values below come from this tool's own example placeholders and are computed server-side with the formula shown on this page, so the arithmetic can be checked quickly. It demonstrates how to substitute values only — it is not clinical advice and not a real case.
| C-peptide | 1.5 ng/mL |
|---|---|
| Plasma glucose | 90 mg/dL |
→C-pep/Glu ×1001.67
- Raw ratio：0.0167 (ng/mL)/(mg/dL)
- Cue：1–5 — intermediate teaching band

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
- Does C-Peptide / Glucose Ratio upload patient data? Where is it calculated?
- Calculation runs locally in the browser; inputs and results are not uploaded. For licensed clinicians only; interpret with history, investigations and local protocols — not a diagnosis or prescription.
- How is C-Peptide / Glucose Ratio calculated in practice? Can you show a worked example?
- Inputs: C-peptide 1.5 ng/mL, Plasma glucose 90 mg/dL → Result: C-pep/Glu ×100 1.67（Raw ratio: 0.0167 (ng/mL)/(mg/dL), Cue: 1–5 — intermediate teaching band）
