Abstract
In this paper are described normal and insulin resistant subjects, correlating the haematocrit value with M-index during euglycaemic hyperinsulinaemic clamp. The haematocrit value is related negatively with the M-value. We conclude that insulin resistance is a possible factor in determinating the blood viscosity in relation with the red cells/plasma ratio.
