INSULIN RESISTANCE
Glucose, insulin, and HbA1c will be measured by Quest Diagnostics (Wood Dale, IL, USA) using spectrophotometry, an immunoassay, and an enzymatic assay, respectively. Homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) will be calculated according to a published formula: (fasting glucose [mmol/l]×fasting insulin [μU/ml])/22.5 [
