Appropriate use of the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance indices

Introduction. Timely detection of insulin resistance is great importance and a number indices have been developed for its evaluation, among which the homeostasis model assessment index most commonly used in clinical practice. However, it can be calculated via two different models - 1 2. Most studies determine cut-off values study population using 1, while recently physicians use 2 everyday The aim our was to examine whether there difference panceratic beta cells function these models. Material Methods. Laboratory findings 42 patients who were diagnosed with glycemia insulinemia this study. Fasting postprandial calculate Results. When comparing B indices, 2, we found statistically significant (p < 0.001) also obtained when index. Linear correlation analysis showed positive between measured (calculated both models) at 120 minutes 0.005). Conclusion. results indicate that yields significantly lower than by assessment, may stumbling block It necessary pay attention define same diagnosis each patient
