A new study entitled “Insulin resistance and associated factors in patients with Type 1 Diabetes” suggests that insulin resistance may be determined by measuring glucose disposal rate formula (eGDR) and insulin sensitivity score (ISS). The study was published in the journal Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome.
Type 1 diabetes is characterized by the destruction of the insulin-producing cells — beta cells in the pancreas — leading to increased levels of glucose in the blood. A condition known as insulin resistance is usually linked to another type of diabetes, type 2 diabetes, and is characterized by cells failing to respond to insulin signaling. However, insulin resistance has been reported in type 1 diabetes, but this association lacks experimental evidence.
