   Insulin resistance is when your tissues no longer adequately respond to insulin to lower blood glucose levels. Glucose is the sugar molecule your body uses for energy. Insulin is produced by beta ...

3. Glucose clamp technique - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose_clamp_technique

   The hyperglycemic clamps are often used to assess insulin secretion capacity. Hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp technique: The plasma insulin concentration is acutely raised and maintained at 100 μU/ml by a continuous infusion of insulin. Meanwhile, the plasma glucose concentration is held constant at basal levels by a variable glucose infusion.

4. Homeostatic model assessment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeostatic_model_assessment

   IR is insulin resistance and %β is the β-cell function (more precisely, an index for glucose tolerance, i.e. a measure for the ability to counteract the glucose load). Insulin is given in μU/mL. [7] Glucose and insulin are both during fasting. [2] This model correlated well with estimates using the euglycemic clamp method (r = 0.88). [2]

5. Insulin resistance - Wikipedia

   Insulin resistance can be improved or reversed with lifestyle approaches, such as weight reduction, exercise, and dietary changes. There are multiple ways to measure insulin resistance such as fasting insulin levels or glucose tolerance tests, but these are not often used in clinical practice.

   Type 2 diabetes is caused by something called insulin resistance. This means cells in the body don’t respond well to insulin — therefore causing high blood sugar. ... Fasting glucose test. A ...

   The researchers used hyperglycemic clamp and oral glucose tolerance tests to examine the participant’s beta-cell function and insulin release at the beginning and end of the 12-week diet period.
