Background and aims: Insulin resistance is increasingly prevalent in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1D). Insulin resistance is associated with both cardiovascular complications and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), but its assessment is challenging in T1D due to the technical difficulties of the euglycaemic clamp technique. The estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR) is a validated alternative to quantify insulin resistance in T1D, but its role in clinical practice is...
