Abstract excerpt
The chronic hyperglycaemia of glucokinase-deficient diabetes results from a glucose-sensing defect in pancreatic beta cells and abnormal hepatic glucose phosphorylation. We have evaluated the contribution of insulin resistance to this form of chronic hyperglycaemia. Insulin sensitivity, assessed by the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) method in 35 kindreds with glucokinase mutations, was found to be...
