title: Comparison of short insulin tolerance test with HOMA Method for assessment of insulin sensitivity in Asian Indians in north India.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Cost-effective method to assess insulin resistance is needed for Asian Indians.
  
  
  METHODS
  We compared HOMA with SITT methods in 40 subjects.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Values obtained from both methods did not show any correlation.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Both methods should be evaluated against hyperinsulinemic clamp to determine suitability in Asian Indians.
