What Does GDR Stand For?
GDR stands for Glucose Disposal Rate
GDR, or Glucose Disposal Rate, refers to the efficiency with which the body clears glucose from the bloodstream and utilizes it for energy or stores it for future use. It is an important parameter in assessing insulin sensitivity and overall metabolic health, often measured through various diagnostic tests in clinical and research settings. A higher GDR indicates better glucose management and a lower risk of developing conditions such as type 2 diabetes.
