Abstract
Background
Insulin resistance exists when a normal concentration of insulin produces a less than normal biological response. The ability to measure insulin resistance is important in order to understand the aetiopathology of Type 2 diabetes, to examine the epidemiology and to assess the effects of intervention.
Methods
We assess and compare methods of measurement and have undertaken a literature review from 1966 to 2001.
