Diet-induced FGL elevation may reflect insulin sensitivity recovery and VAT regression beyond weight-loss, specifically among men. Green-MED diet is associated with greater FGL elevation (Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism)

Estimated insulin sensitivity, cardiovascular risk and hepatic steatosis after 12 years from the onset of T1D
Adiposity, glucose and lipid control over the follow-up are likely to influence both. Enhanced adiposity seems paramount for the onset of hepatic steatosis in T1D patients alike in healthy youths (Diabetes/Metabolism Research and Reviews)
Longitudinal changes in glucose metabolism in women with gestational diabetes, from late pregnancy to the postpartum period
In women with GDM, delivery was associated with improvement in both insulin sensitivity and insulin production within the first few days. Improvement in insulin production persisted for 6–12 weeks, but insulin sensitivity deteriorated slightly (Diabtologia)
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)
Relationship between insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion rate: not necessarily hyperbolic
These findings demonstrate that the physiological relationship between insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion rate is not necessarily hyperbolic, but will vary with the method(s) by which it is determined (Diabetic Medicine)
10-year trajectory of β-cell function and insulin sensitivity in the development of type 2 diabetes: a community-based prospective cohort study
Decreased β-cell function, which might be determined partly by genetic factors, and impaired β-cell compensation for progressive decline in insulin sensitivity are crucial factors in the deterioration of glucose tolerance (The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology)
Changes in insulin sensitivity and secretion after sleeve gastrectomy
Sleeve gastrectomy improved insulin sensitivity and reduced insulin secretion within 6 months after surgery. Although there was a correlation between insulin sensitivity and bodyweight, the major driver of the improvement in insulin sensitivity was GLP-1 secretion (British Journal of Surgery)
Bolus Estimation—Rethinking the Effect of Meal Fat Content
In addition to considering the putative delay in gastric emptying associated with HF meals, we suggest that clinicians reviewing patient records consider that the fat content of these meals may alter SI (Diabetes Technology and Therapeutics)
Triglyceride glucose index as a surrogate measure of insulin sensitivity in obese adolescents with normoglycemia, prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes mellitus: comparison with the hyperinsulinemic–euglycemic clamp
The TyG index affords an easily and widely available simple laboratory method as a surrogate estimate of insulin sensitivity that could be used repeatedly in large-scale observational and/or interventional cohorts of OB (Pediatric Diabetes)
