title: Utility of the estimated glucose disposal rate as a marker of microvascular complications in young adults with type 1 diabetes.
abstract: In 61 young adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus, the estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR), a validated marker for insulin resistance, correlated positively with the prevalence of microvascular complications. In the absence of an established vascular risk calculator specific to diabetes, the eGDR may present a useful clinical tool in the assessment of complication risk in type 1 diabetes.
