[Answer to "Comment on the article: "Diagnostic performance of the FINDRISC questionnaire to identify insulin resistance in adults""].

Abstract

The FINDRISC instrument has been established as a screening tool to determine the risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) at 10 years. However, the established cut-off points were based on a population with a low prevalence of the disease, unlike the Mexican population in which, based on the latest ENSANUT 2022 report, the global prevalence of T2D is 18.3%. Based on this, the need arose to establish a cut-off point to identify the presence of insulin resistance in this population using the FINDRISC instrument. And, in this way, identify the population one step before the development of T2D.
