Diagnostic workup of hypoglycemia:
-Diagnosis of factitious hypoglycemia due to surreptitious administration of insulin
-Evaluation of possible insulinoma
-Surrogate measure for the absence or presence of physiological suppressibility of endogenous insulin secretion during diagnostic insulin-induced hypoglycemia (C-peptide suppression test)
Assessing insulin secretory reserve in selected diabetic patients (as listed below) who either have insulin autoantibodies or who are receiving insulin therapy:
-Assessing residual endogenous insulin secretory reserve
-Monitoring pancreatic and islet cell transplant function
-Monitoring immunomodulatory therapy aimed at slowing progression of preclinical, or very early stage type 1 diabetes mellitus
