Association Between Insulin Resistance and Beta Cell Function With HbA1C in Diabetics

Progression of T2DM is widely accepted to be contributed by two main components: beta cell function deterioration where insulin secretion is impaired and insulin resistance where insulin physiological response is reduced. Insulin resistance and beta cell function will be estimated through a mathematical model, homeostasis model assessment. Fasting insulin and C-peptide will be measured using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Insulin resistance and beta cell function is then compared with the glycaemic control, HbA1C.
