Yes. A person can have autoimmune type 1 diabetes and insulin resistance at the same time. Type 1 diabetes describes an immune-related loss of insulin-producing cells. Insulin resistance describes a reduced response to insulin in […]

How glucose, A1C, islet autoantibodies, C-peptide, and ketones help clarify diabetes type, remaining insulin production, and urgent risk. Adult-onset type 1 diabetes can initially resemble type 2 diabetes. In a slower-progressing presentation often called latent […]

HOMA2-IR, HOMA2-%B & HOMA2-%S Explained Direct answer: HOMA2 is a nonlinear computer model, not a stand-alone blood test. From compatible fasting glucose with insulin or C-peptide, it estimates insulin sensitivity (HOMA2-%S), the reciprocal insulin-resistance index […]
