Improving Heart Disease Risk Assessment in Diabetes and Prediabetes with eGDR

People with diabetes or prediabetes face an elevated risk of developing various cardiovascular conditions, including heart disease, stroke, and congestive heart failure. One crucial factor contributing to this increased risk is how well the body utilizes insulin, which can be measured using the estimated glucose disposal rate (eGDR). A lower eGDR score indicates a poorer ability to process insulin and is associated with a higher likelihood of developing heart-related complications.
