Estimated glucose disposal rate demographics and clinical characteristics of young adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus: A cross-sectional pilot study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) is a practical measure of Insulin Resistance (IR) which can be easily incorporated into clinical practice. We profiled eGDR in younger adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) by their demographic and clinical characteristics.

Methods

In this single centre study, medical records of TIDM were assessed and eGDR tertiles correlated with demographic and clinical variables.

Results

Of 175 T1DM individuals, 108 (61.7%) were males. Mean age (±SD) was 22.0 ± 1.6 years and median time from diagnosis 11.0 years (range 1-23). Individuals were predominantly Caucasian (81.7%), with 27.4% being overweight (BMI: 25-30 kg/m²) and 13.7% obese (BMI > 30 kg/m²). Mean total cholesterol (TC) levels were significant
