Assessing the Test–retest Repeatability of Insulin Resistance Measures: Homeostasis Model Assessment 2 and Oral Glucose Insulin Sensitivity

Crofts, C; Wheldon, MC; Zinn, C; Lan-Pidhainy, X-M; Wolever, T; Schofield, G (African Online Scientific Information Systems (AOSIS), 2017)

Background: Insulin resistance is commonly assessed using the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) variants. HOMA is potentially insensitive to change because of its high coefficient of variation. The repeatability coefficient ...
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 ...
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 ...
