Brief summary: This longitudinal study aimed to determine if hyperinsulinemia and postprandial glucose levels could predict obesity progression in n=591 children and adolescents with obesity. The authors found no association between hyperinsulinemia, insulin secretion, low postprandial glucose levels, and an increase in obesity over a 2–4-year period.According to the carbohydrate-insulin model (1), diets with a high glycemic load (GL) promote weight...

Most newborn screening (NBS) programs for CH are p...
