Research Grant

Institution:

University of Oxford

Recipient:

Prof. Rury Holman/Dr Richard Stevens

Project:

Adapting the HOMA model to estimate insulin sensitivity and beta cell function in people with Type 2 diabetes mellitus treated with insulin

Summary:

"Blood glucose levels depend on how much insulin the body can make, and how the body responds to insulin.
These can be estimated simply with a blood sample and the HOMA computer program.
Currently, HOMA does not work for people with diabetes who take insulin.
This project will produce a new version to make this possible.
This will be used by researchers, developing treatments for diabetes."
