Description
Hasanain AbdlWhab and co-authors study how insulin resistance and blood sugar control relate to levels of a growth factor in people with type 2 diabetes, in a 2024 paper. The factor, IGF-1, works alongside growth hormone: one raises blood sugar while the other supports insulin release and sensitivity. The team measured both in patients at a diabetes center in Baghdad.
Sixty patients were checked over the course of a year, with blood tests for sugar control, insulin resistance, and hormone levels, plus body measures. Patients with poor sugar control had clearly higher IGF-1 than those with better control. Patients with insulin resistance had lower IGF-1 than those without it, and levels fell as body mass rose. The authors weigh these crossed patterns as clues to how the hormone pair behaves in diabetes.
