**Кратко:** Accurate classification of diabetes is essential for selecting appropriate treatment and improving patient outcomes, yet distinguishing type 1 diabetes (T1D) from type 2 diabetes (T2D) remains a significant clinical challenge.1
This webinar explores the role of C-peptide testing as an objective biomarker of endogenous insulin production and beta-cell function and highlights how C-peptide testing can support diabetes classification, guide treatment decisions, and identify individuals who may not require lifelong insulin therapy. This session presents key findings from an ongoing Cardiff pilot study that evaluated 388 individuals clinically diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) for over three years who were antibody-negative or untested.
