The stimulation index is the increase in insulin release when you increase glucose, and 3 is good. Unfortunately these measures are only an approximate measure of how well islets will function in vivo, but are useful.

I’ve been following this blog for a long time, but now this will be my first post.
I can’t figure out the table in the lower middle section (Table 1).
Lower values are better and given a higher score and percentage? They signify that the islets are functioning after transplantation? What would be ‘optimal’ values to ‘cure’ the piggy from its newly acquired burden?

Thank you!
