Metabolic flexibility to glucose is mainly related to insulin-stimulated glucose disposal rate.
Improving insulin sensitivity may enhance metabolic flexibility in individuals with type 2 diabetes.

Metabolic flexibility to glucose (change in respiratory quotient [RQ]) was mainly related to insulin-stimulated glucose disposal rate (R(2) = 0.46, P < 0.0001).

- The impaired metabolic flexibility to glucose observed in type 2 diabetic subjects compared to nondiabetic subjects was no longer observed after adjusting for glucose disposal rate.Strong
- The increase in metabolic flexibility to glucose after weight loss in type 2 diabetic subjects was accounted for by the concomitant increase in insulin-stimulated glucose disposal rate.Strong
