Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 259786 0
Insulin sensitivity. THis will be measured by the Matsuda methodl which is best model compared to the euglycaemic clamp. This involved overnight fasting, with an oral glucose tolerance test. Equipment used will be IV cannulation, and syringes. The Liggins Institute has an in-house assay for insulin level.s
