Hjelmesaeth et al. (1) have validated the use of seven oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)-derived insulin sensitivity indexes against the euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp technique in a Caucasian renal transplant population. We agree with the authors that the availability of more cost- and time-efficient surrogate estimates of insulin sensitivity than the euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp would greatly benefit the design of future …
