On the basis of the hypo-thesis that endogenous insulin secretion might be correlated withthe GA/A1c ratio, we investigated whether insulin secretory func-tion or insulin resistance has different effects on the GA/A1cratio in patients with type 2 diabetes using the standardizedliquid meal test.Design Aclinical,retrospectivestudy.Patients and measurementsA total of 758 patients with type 2diabetes ingested a standardized liquid meal (i.e. 500 kcal, 17AE5gfat, 68AE5 g carbohydrate and 17AE5 g protein). The subjects weredivided into two groups: those with GA/A1c ratio
