TYPE 1 DIABETES AND INSULIN RESISTANCE: ESTIMATED GLUCOSE DISPOSAL RATE AND ITS CORRELATION WITH CHRONIC COMPLICATIONS
Introduction: insulin resistance (IR) in type 1 diabetes (T1D) is associated with a higher risk of complications in these patients. The gold standard for measuring insulin sensitivity is the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp although not used in clinical practice. The estimated glucose disposal rate...

| Summary: | Introduction: insulin resistance (IR) in type 1 diabetes (T1D) is associated with a higher risk of complications in these patients. The gold standard for measuring insulin sensitivity is the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp although not used in clinical practice. The estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) has been validated to estimate insulin sensitivity.
Objectives: the objective was to correlate IR in T1D (eGDR), with macro and microvascular complications in patients assisted in a Diabetology Service.
Materials and methods: we performed a cross-sectional study. The eGDR was calculated using HbA1c, waist circumference, and hypertensive status. |
