Name | HOMA IR/C Peptide Ratio – A Better Tool for Predicting Prognosis of Type II Diabetes Mellitus |
Description | Original article
Insulin resistance is a characteristic feature of type II diabetes which can precede and predict the disease. Homeostatic model assessment (HOMA) is a method for assessing insulin resistance (IR) from basal (fasting) glucose and insulin or C-peptide concentrations. Insulin / c peptide ratio can act as a measure of insulin reserve which in addition indirectly can indicate insulin resistance. Also HOMA-IR / c peptide ratio indicates insulin resistance with respect to endogenous insulin reserve. The aim of this study was to compare the correlations of indices HOMA-IR, Insulin / c peptide ratio and HOMA-IR / c peptide ratio with glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and plasma lipid profile in type II diabetic patients. Conclusion: This study indicated that among the indices Insulin / c peptide ratio and HOMA-IR / c peptide ratio KEYWORDS: Diabetes mellitus; Insulin Resistance; HOMA model; C peptide.
