The shape of the glucose response curve during an oral glucose tolerance test heralds β–cell function in a large Chinese population

Abstract Background The shape of the glucose response curve during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) can predict β-cell function and insulin resistance. However, there have been few studies conducted on Chinese people. Thus, we aimed to verify the usefulness of the glucose response curve in a la...
