	abstract = {Background: The high incidence of post-transplant diabetes mellitus (PTDM) necessitates the identification of new factors to explain its pathogenesis. This study aimed to clarify the association between the C-peptide index (CPI) and PTDM.
Methods: A total of 290 non-diabetic kidney transplant patients were analyzed. All subjects underwent a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Plasma glucose concentrations, serum C-peptide levels, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and other biochemical indicators were measured. CPI was calculated as the ratio of serum C-peptide to plasma glucose.
Results: Among the 290 patients, 36 (12.4%) developed PTDM at the end of 1 year. Patients with PTDM had older age (P},
