Ours as well as other recently published\udarticles challenge the somehow dogmatic concept\udabout the existence of a uniform and comprehensive\udstate of “insulin resistance,” a condition that should be\udconsidered multifaceted, and not defined just on the basis\udof the reduced insulin-mediated glucose disposal. This\udmore complex view may have relevant consequences\udnot only from a mechanistic but also from a therapeutic\udstandpoint
