9'''Beta cell function''' is the capacity of the pancreatic beta cell to secrete insulin in amounts appropriate to the prevailing glucose concentration and to the prevailing insulin sensitivity. It is not a single quantity and cannot be measured directly in a living person; every clinical measure is an inference from insulin or [[C-peptide]] concentrations under some defined stimulus.{{r|rorsman2013}}10'''Beta cell function''' is the capacity of the pancreatic beta cell to secrete insulin in amounts appropriate to the prevailing glucose concentration and to the prevailing insulin sensitivity.

31The disposition index is conceptually the strongest of these because it embodies the hyperbolic relationship between secretion and sensitivity: for a given individual the product is approximately constant, and a fall in the product indicates genuine deterioration rather than compensation. Its practical weakness is that it inherits the error of both component measurements.{{r|bergman2002}}32The disposition index is conceptually the strongest of these because it embodies the hyperbolic relationship between secretion and sensitivity: for a given individual the product is approximately constant, and a fall in the product indicates genuine deterioration rather than compensation.

+34Reference intervals for all of these are population- and assay-specific. A HOMA-B value quoted without the insulin assay it was derived from is not interpretable, because insulin immunoassays differ in cross-reactivity with proinsulin.{{r|rorsman2013,matthews1985}}
