During the progression of baseline FBG, β-cell dysfunction and insulin resistance worsened. As FBG increased, increased BMI had a positive influence on β-cell dysfunction in all FBG groups. The independent factors that correlated to EISI differed with the increasing of baseline FBG (Journal of Diabetes Research)

Association between insulin resistance and haematological parameters: a cohort study from adolescence to adulthood
Both longitudinal and cross‐sectional analyses support the hypothesis that insulin resistance is associated with increased red blood cells count and haematocrit in young adults, even within normal ranges of insulin and glucose (Diabetes/Metabolism Research and Reviews)
Inverse association of insulin antibody levels with insulin sensitivity in adults with Type 1 diabetes
In adults with recent-onset Type 1 diabetes expressing at least one β-cell-directed antibody, insulin sensitivity is inversely related to insulin antibody titres, but not to other autoantibodies. Our finding may allow for the identification of insulin resistance in adults with high levels of insulin antibodies (Diabetic Medicine)
A 2-year Trial of Intermittent Insulin Therapy versus Metformin for the Preservation of Beta-cell Function after Initial Short-term Intensive Insulin Induction in early Type 2 Diabetes
Following induction IIT, metformin was superior to intermittent IIT for maintaining beta-cell function and glycemic control over 2-years. The strategy of induction and maintenance therapy to preserve beta-cell function warrants exploration in early T2DM (Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism)
Sex-specific differences in insulin resistance in type 1 diabetes: The CACTI cohort
We found that type 1 diabetes affected adipose and skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity to a greater extent in women than in men, perhaps contributing to the greater relative increase in cardiovascular risk in women with type 1 diabetes (Journal of Diabetes and Its Complications)
Hypoglycemia After Initiation of Basal Insulin in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes in the United States: Implications for Treatment Discontinuation and Healthcare Costs and Utilization
US patients with T2D who experienced hypoglycemia within 6 months of basal insulin initiation were more likely to discontinue treatment, accompanied by a greater healthcare burden (Advances in Therapy)
Characteristics of people with high visit-to-visit glycaemic variability in Type 2 diabetes
Intensive treatment resulting in low mean HbA1c was associated with marked increase in HbA1c variability. Irrespective of diabetes control, the greatest visit-to-visit variability was observed in young, insulin resistant men (Diabetic Medicine)
Insulin resistance correlates with maculopathy and severity of retinopathy in young adults with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
IR correlates with more severe retinopathy in young adults with Type 1 DM. This is the first description of a correlation between IR and maculopathy in Type 1 DM, warranting further evaluation. Prospective studies examining whether reducing IR can improve microvascular complications are required (Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice)
Assessing Psychological Insulin Resistance in Type 2 Diabetes: a Critical Comparison of Measures
This paper provides guidance on the selection of questionnaires for clinical or research purpose and the development of new, or improvement of existing, questionnaires (Current Diabetes Reports)
Lowest Glucose Variability and Hypoglycemia Are Observed With the Combination of a GLP-1 Receptor Agonist and Basal Insulin (VARIATION Study)
The lowest GV and lowest hypoglycemia were observed in patients using the combination of basal insulin with a GLP-1 RA, supporting the complementary glycemic action of these agents in type 2 diabetes (Diabetes Care)
The role of glycemia in insulin resistance in youth with type 1 and type 2 diabetes
Markers of metabolic syndrome and hyperglycemia predicted decreased IS in T2D youth. Paradoxically, hypoglycemia predicted decreased IS in T1D youth and hyperglycemia, particularly overnight, predicted improved IS. These preliminary results imply different mechanisms underlying IR in T1D vs T2D and suggest a role for non-insulin therapies in T1D to improve IR (Pediatric Diabetes)
Effects of Saturated Fat, Polyunsaturated Fat, Monounsaturated Fat, and Carbohydrate on Glucose-Insulin Homeostasis
This meta-analysis of randomised controlled feeding trials provides evidence that dietary macronutrients have diverse effects on glucose-insulin homeostasis. In comparison to carbohydrate, SFA, or MUFA, most consistent favourable effects were seen with PUFA, which was linked to improved glycaemia, insulin resistance, and insulin secretion capacity (PLOS Medicine)
Insulin Resistance and Obesity Affect Lipid Profile in the Salivary Glands
The observed reduction in PH concentration is an interesting phenomenon frequently signifying the atrophy and malfunctions in the saliva secreting organs. On the other hand, the increased accumulation of TG in the glands may be an important clinical manifestation of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus (Journal of Diabetes Research)
Hepatic insulin resistance both in prediabetic and diabetic patients determines postprandial lipoprotein metabolism: from the CORDIOPREV study
Our findings demonstrate that prediabetic patients show a lower phenotypic flexibility after external aggression, such as OFTT compared with nondiabetic patients. The postprandial response increases progressively according to non-diabetic, prediabetic and type 2 diabetic state and it is higher in patients with liver insulin-resistance. To identify this subgroup of patients is important to treat more intensively in order to avoid future cardiometabolic complications (Cardiovascular Diabetology)
Insulin Resistance and Metabolic Syndrome in Young Men With Acne
Postadolescent male patients with acne more commonly have insulin resistance. This resistance may be a stage of prediabetes, and the patients may develop hyperinsulinemia or type 2 diabetes in the future. These patients should be followed up for a prolonged time to determine whether they develop conditions associated with insulin resistance (JAMA Dermatology)
Insulin Resistance and Inflammation in Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism and Their Reduction After Testosterone Replacement in Men With Type 2 Diabetes
Testosterone treatment in men with type 2 diabetes and HH increases insulin sensitivity, increases lean mass, and decreases subcutaneous fat (Diabetes Care)
Relationship of Hemoglobin A1c with β Cell Function and Insulin Resistance in Newly Diagnosed and Drug Naive Type 2 Diabetes Patients
Elevated HbA1c values (≥7%) were associated with substantial reductions in β cell function (Journal of Diabetes Research)
Factors associated with no apparent coronary artery disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus for more than 10 years of duration: a case control study
HOMA-IR less than 2.5, microalbuminuria less than 20 mg/l and females are the factors appear to be associated with no apparent CAD (Cardiovascular Diabetology)
Lifestyle and metformin ameliorate insulin sensitivity independently of the genetic burden of established insulin resistance variants in Diabetes Prevention Program participants
Lifestyle intervention and metformin improved ISI, regardless of the genetic burden of IR-variants (Diabetes)
Gender differences in the progression of target organ damage in patients with increased insulin resistance: the LOD-DIABETES study
The increase in vascular and renal TOD was higher in women, especially in diabetic women. The PWV increase showed a positive association with mean HbA1c levels during the follow-up (Cardiovascular Diabetology)
