Intellectual disability is a below-average cognitive ability with three (3) characteristics: Intelligent quotient (or I.Q.) is between 70-75 or below.
Identify insulin resistance. Monitor the amount of insulin produced by the beta cells in the pancreas (endogenous); in this case, a C-peptide test may also be done. Insulin and C-peptide are produced by the body at the same rate as part of the conversion of proinsulin to insulin in the pancreas.
The beta cells reduce insulin output as the blood glucose level falls, allowing blood glucose to settle at a constant of approximately 5 mmol/L (mM) (90 mg/dL). In an insulin-resistant person, normal levels of insulin do not have the same effect in controlling blood glucose levels.ery low levels (4.0 mg/min or lower) indicate that the body is resistant to insulin action. Levels between 4.0 and 7.5 mg/min are not definitive, and suggest impaired glucose tolerance, an early sign of insulin resistance. This basic technique may be enhanced significantly by the use of glucose tracers.
