Beyond type 2 diabetes: the need for a clinically useful way to identify insulin resistance

In this issue, Pradhan and colleagues have shown that fasting levels of plasma insulin and proinsulin, and the concentration ratio of fasting proinsulin/insulin, were associated with a 5.6- to 16.4-fold increase in the risk of type 2 diabetes. McLaughlin and Reaven comment on the study.
