    C-peptide Standardization


    Clinical trials of agents to preserve beta cell function in new onset type 1 diabetes will use C-peptide as an outcome measure that indicates insulin production. The C-peptide standardization program is supported to establish reliability in results and facilitate the conduct of international clinical trials.
