Evaluation of Serum Insulin Level as a Marker of Insulin Resistance in Obese with and without Diabetes Type-2
Author(s): Dutta S and Sanjay Bhatt S*
Introduction: Insulin resistance is the greatest risk factor for development of obesity and Type-2 DM. Euglycemia with
increased insulin level is one of the salient features in insulin resistance. Techniques for assessment of insulin resistance
by HOMA, QUICKI are very tedious, expensive and time-consuming as reported in various researches. On the contrary,
estimation of fasting serum insulin is a very easy tool to measure the presence and progression of Insulin resistance but
this methodology is not widely explored.
Aim and objective: To measure level of serum insulin in obese persons with and without Diabetes in comparison to
normal non-obese non-diabetic controls for determination of Insulin resistance.
Material and methods: This observational case-control study was done in SRMS IMS, Bareilly. A total.. View More»
