Triglyceride–Glucose Index and Ratio and The Relation to Microvascular Complications in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

Document Type : Abstracts

Abstract

Triglyceride-based indices have gained much attention over the past few years. The relation of the triglyceride–glucose (TyG) index with insulin resistance and diabetic macrovascular complications was thoroughly studied, yet its relation to microvascular complications is still unclear. This invited us to conduct the present study.
