Higher Prevalence and Degree of Insulin Resistance in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis than in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

The fact that traditional IR factors have an equal effect on IR in both SLE and RA supports the contention that these differences are related to the diseases themselves.
