  2. Blood sugar level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_sugar_level

    In order for blood glucose to be kept stable, modifications to insulin, glucagon, epinephrine and cortisol are made. Each of these hormones has a different responsibility to keep blood glucose regulated; when blood sugar is too high, insulin tells muscles to take up excess glucose for storage in the form of glycogen. Glucagon responds to too ...

  3. Homeostatic model assessment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeostatic_model_assessment

    IR is insulin resistance and %β is the β-cell function (more precisely, an index for glucose tolerance, i.e. a measure for the ability to counteract the glucose load). Insulin is given in μU/mL. [7] Glucose and insulin are both during fasting. [2] This model correlated well with estimates using the euglycemic clamp method (r = 0.88). [2]

  4. Disposition index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disposition_index

    Disposition metrics integrate beta cell function and insulin sensitivity in a way so that the results remain constant across dynamical compensation. Changed from Cobelli et al. 2007 and Hannon et al. 2018 [1] [2] The Disposition index (DI) is a measure for the loop gain of the insulin-glucose feedback control system.

  5. Ambulatory glucose profile - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ambulatory_Glucose_Profile

    Ambulatory glucose profile (AGP) is a single-page, standardized report for interpreting a patient's daily glucose and insulin patterns. AGP provides both graphic and quantitative characterizations of daily glucose patterns.

  6. Glucose test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glucose_test

    Fasting prior to glucose testing may be required with some test types. Fasting blood sugar test, for example, requires 10–16 hour-long period of not eating before the test. [1] Blood sugar levels can be affected by some drugs and prior to some glucose tests these medications should be temporarily given up or their dosages should be decreased.

  7. Insulin resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulin_resistance

    Insulin is a hormone that facilitates the transport of glucose from blood into cells, thereby reducing blood glucose (blood sugar). Insulin is released by the pancreas in response to carbohydrates consumed in the diet. In states of insulin resistance, the same amount of insulin does not have the same effect on glucose transport and blood sugar ...
