Type 2 & other diabetes

Estimation of Glucose Absorption, Insulin Sensitivity, and Glucose Effectiveness From the Oral Glucose Tolerance Test

J Clin Endocrinol MetabPublished Cross-sectional study

Authors' conclusion

Our novel model SI has a good correlation with SI from the widely used Dalla Man's model while concurrently calculating GE and GIGt1/2. Thus, besides estimating SI, our novel model can quantify differences in insulin-independent glucose disposal mechanisms important for diabetes pathophysiology.

Study context

Population
Subjects without oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) abnormalities and subjects with diabetes undergoing a 75-gram 120-minute 6-timepoint OGTT at an academic medical center
Participants
88 vs 17
Exposure
Novel OGTT model vs Dalla Man OGTT model; diabetes vs controls
  • Diabetesn = 88
  • Controlsn = 17reference
Outcome
Agreement of SI from the novel model with SI from the Dalla Man model (Bland-Altman limits of agreement)
