10The central methodological difficulty is that secretion and sensitivity are not independent. A healthy beta cell compensates for insulin resistance by secreting more, so an absolute secretion figure that looks normal may represent substantial dysfunction in a very insulin-resistant person. Measures that do not adjust for sensitivity — including fasting insulin and HOMA-B — are therefore weak, and the disposition index, the product of a secretion measure and a sensitivity measure, was devised to address exactly this.{{r|bergman2002}}10The central methodological difficulty is that secretion and sensitivity are not independent.

+12Beta cell function is relevant to this wiki chiefly because it changes under incretin therapy and after substantial weight loss, and because indices derived from it appear in trial reports as secondary endpoints where their limitations are rarely restated.{{r|drucker2018}}

13Insulin secretion cannot be sampled at source. Peripheral venous insulin has already passed the liver, which extracts a variable 40–80% at first pass, so peripheral concentration understates secretion by an amount that itself varies between people and with pulsatility.{{r|rorsman2013}}15Insulin secretion cannot be sampled at source.
