Comparison of triglyceride glucose index and HbA1C as a marker of prediabetes - A preliminary study.

Background And Aims: HbAC and HOMA-IR (Homeostatic model assessment for assessing insulin resistance) are established diagnostic markers of diabetes and insulin resistance respectively, but are relatively expensive. Triglyceride glucose (TyG) index is calculated based on fasting plasma glucose and fasting triglyceride levels which are available as routine laboratory parameters and is inexpensive. This is a preliminary study which aims to compare Triglyceride glucose (TyG) index with HbAC as a marker of prediabetes and also with HOMA-IR (Homeostatic model assessment for assessing insulin resistance) as a marker of insulin resistance.

Body composition and handgrip strength in patients with prediabetes: A case-control study from Haryana, North India.

Background And Aims: Previous studies suggest that body composition and handgrip strength are significantly altered in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Only few studies are available in prediabetic individuals. The aim is to study the change in body composition in adult individuals with prediabetes and compare it with age and sex-matched normoglycemic individuals.
