Determining a Diagnostic Algorithm for Hyperinsulinaemia

Crofts, CAP; Schofield, G; Wheldon, MC; Zinn, C; Kraft, JR

Background: Ascertaining Kraft dynamic insulin response patterns following a 3-h 100 g oral glucose tolerance test seems to be the most reliable method for diagnosing hyperinsulinaemia. However, this test may be too ...
Relationships Between Hyperinsulinaemia, Magnesium, Vitamin D, Thrombosis and COVID-19: Rationale for Clinical Management

Cooper, ID; Crofts, CAP; DiNicolantonio, JJ; Malhotra, A; Elliott, B; Kyriakidou, Y; Brookler, KH (BMJ, 2020)

Risk factors for COVID-19 patients with poorer outcomes include pre-existing conditions: obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease (CVD), heart failure, hypertension, low oxygen saturation capacity, cancer, ...
Repeatability Characteristics of Insulin Response Patterns and Measures of Insulin Resistance

Crofts, CAP; Wheldon, MC; Zinn, C; Merien, F; Schofield, G (AOSIS, 2019)

Background: Hyperinsulinaemia is emerging as an independent risk factor for metabolic disease, but diagnostic measures are limited. It is plausible that insulin resistance measures, such as homeostatic model assessment ...
