Abstract
In the recently published consensus statement on the treatment and management of type 1 diabetes issued by experts from the American (ADA) and European (EASD) diabetes societies, measurement of endogenous insulin secretion using fasting C-peptide is recommended as a diagnostic criterion. In contrast, our group recently suggested fasting C-peptide/glucose ratio (CGR) for the determination of endogenous insulin secretion. In addition, this ratio may turn out as a potential decision aid for pathophysiologically based differential therapy of diabetes. In this comment, the following points will be discussed: i) CGR as the basis of differential diagnosis of type 1 diabetes, ii) CGR as the basis of treatment decisions for or against insulin in diabetes, and iii) the ease of application of CGR in clinical practice. The use of CGR may complement the ADA/EASD recommendations and should provide a practical application in clinical practice.
期刊介绍:
Publishing outstanding articles from all fields of endocrinology and diabetology, from molecular biology to clinical research, this journal is a brilliant resource. Since being published in English in 1983, the popularity of this journal has grown steadily, reflecting the importance of this publication within its field.
Original contributions and short communications appear in each issue along with reviews addressing current topics. In addition, supplementary issues are published each year presenting abstracts or proceedings of national and international scientific meetings.
The journal was initially published in German and is still the oldest endocrinological periodical in the German-language market!
