Sponsor's own description

Insulin resistance can be assessed by the euglycaemic clamp technique. To date, this is the golden standard, but it is not suited for clinical practice. A 13C glucose breath test will be tested as a valid alternative. The curve of the exhaled 13C CO2 as a function of glucose metabolism can be correlated to the curve of the glucose disposal rate obtained via the clamp technique.
