Introduction: Type 2 diabetes (DM) is characterized by both insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction. The oral disposition index (DIo), a measurement of β-cell function and insulin sensitivity, is considered the best predictor of progression to a worse GTS, although it was not well tested for regression to a better GTS.Objectives: To assess the validity of DIo and determine whether DIo predicts regression to a better GTS.<p class="abstext"...
