ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a method for the determination of insulin sensitivity, insulin resistance, and non-insulin dependent Diabetes mellitus based on oral glucose tolerance test data and lipid ratios from reference populations that define an insulin resistance index. The invention also provides methods for using the IR index to determine disease progression and to evaluate the efficacy of the therapeutic agents. The invention further provides an IR calculator for automating diagnosis, producing and storing patient medical records.
