McAuley forumula superior to HOMA or GTT for detecting insulin resistance

October 9th, 2006 | by David Spelts |

The McAuley formula, which uses fasting insulin and triglycerides was proved to be a better predictor of insulin resistance than the HOMA formula, which uses fasting glucose and fasting insulin.

Triglycerides are actually a pretty good indicator alone, and relatively inexpensive as well (compared to fasting insulin).
