Abstract
AIMS: Insulin resistance in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) is associated with increased risk of chronic complications and death. The gold standard to quantify insulin sensitivity, a euglycaemic hyperinsulinaemic clamp, is not applicable to clinical practice. We have employed clamp studies to develop a panel of formulae to estimate insulin sensitivity in adults with T1D for use in clinical practice and trials. METHODS: Clamps were conducted in 28 adults with T1D, who were also characterised with 38 clinical and research biomarkers. Exhaustive search analysis was used to derive equations correlating with clamp-quantified glucose disposal rate (GDR), GDR/plasma insulin (M/I) and log10M/I. RE..
