+35== Relevance to incretin therapy ==
+36Incretin agonists amplify secretion while present, so a C-peptide measured during treatment reflects the drug as well as the beta cell. Assessments of underlying secretory capacity are therefore made off treatment where the question requires it.{{r|drucker2018}}
+37
+38Improvements in C-peptide-derived indices during treatment are frequently reported and are frequently over-interpreted: an improved index under continuing treatment is not evidence of a durable change in the beta cell. See [[Beta cell function]].{{r|jones2013}}
