Abstract
Both defective insulin secretion and insulin resistance have been reported in relatives of type 2 diabetic subjects. We tested 120 members of 26 families with a type 2 diabetic sibling pair with a tolbutamide-modified, frequently sampled iv glucose tolerance test to determine the insulin sensitivity index (SI) and acute insulin response to glucose (AIRglucose). A measure ofβ -cell compensation for insulin sensitivity was calculated as the...
