Contribution of Hyperinsulinemia vs. Hyperglycemia to Insulin Resistance in Type 1 Diabetes and Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young, Type 2 (MODY2)

Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the key factors influencing insulin sensitivity in type 1 diabetes (T1DM) and maturity onset diabetes of the young, type 2 (MODY2). Our study tests the hypothesis that decreased insulin sensitivity is primarily driven by chronically elevated insulin levels in the blood rather than chronic elevations in blood sugar.
