Why the study?
The study was conducted to investigate associations between the triglyceride-glucose index, a marker of insulin resistance, and microangiopathies and macroangiopathies in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Is a high triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index associated with an increased risk of micro- and macro-angiopathies in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus?
Is a high triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index associated with an increased risk of micro- and macro-angiopathies in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus?
A high triglyceride-glucose index is significantly associated with an increased risk of albuminuria and cerebrovascular disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
