English, French
Authors' objectives:
The aim of this study is to review the available information on the breath test for the detection of insulin resistance (Diatest TM) manufactured by Isodiagnostika Inc, Edmonton, AB.
Authors' recommendations:
Breath tests are non-invasive, easily administered and more acceptable to patients than either blood or urine tests. Larger studies are needed to determine whether patients will benefit from the measurement of insulin resistance. Until such information is available, it is difficult to determine the clinical advantage of a test for insulin resistance while other indicators for risk (such as BMI) are available.
