RESUMO
Insulin resistance appears in several pathological conditions but unfortunately a simple, low cost, reproducible and easy to perform method to measure it isstill lacking. This method should resemble as closely as possible the physiological response to insulin and should be able to evaluate the sensitivity to the hormone of different tissues and systems. We herein analyze the factors that modify basal insulin determinations and the different methods available to measure insulin resistance.
