- VIDEO DESCRIPTION
Prediabetes and type 2 diabetes are the result of reductions in insulin sensitivity (i.e., insulin resistance) that can not be fully compensated by increased insulin production. Thus, the cause of glucose intolerance in both prediabetes and manifest type 2 diabetes is - most commonly - a combination of insulin resistance and beta-cell dysfunction. In this video, Mario Kratz, PhD, describes a simple tool that uses fasting glucose and insulin concentrations to estimate both insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function, which is the first step in understanding the root cause or causes of glucose intolerance.
