Comparison of short insulin tolerance test with HOMA Method for assessment of insulin sensitivity in Asian Indians in north India.
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.
