Urine C-peptide creatinine ratio can be used to assess insulin resistance and insulin production in people without diabetes: an observational study

OBJECTIVES: The current assessment of insulin resistance (IR) in epidemiology studies relies on the blood measurement of C-peptide or insulin. A urine C-peptide creatinine ratio (UCPCR) can be posted from home unaided. It is validated against serum measures of the insulin in people with diabetes. We...
