Parameters identified by minimal model analysis of data from an FSIGT
AIRglucose | Acute insulin response to glucose |
DI | Disposition index; overall insulin effect |
GE | Glucose effectiveness (denoted Sg in the minimal model); insulin-independent glucose disposal |
FSIGT | Frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance test |
Kg | Glucose disappearance constant, a measure of glucose tolerance |
Si | Insulin sensitivity index |
