the triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index was proposed as a simple and reliable surrogate marker of IR, and it has been reported to be closely correlated with the HOMA-IR index. The TyG index has the advantage of being applicable in clinical practice since both triglyceride and glucose levels are routinely measured and the cost of these measurements is low.
The aim of the present study is to investigate the associations between the TyG index and diabetic nephropathy in patients with type2 DM .
