dc.description.abstractHandgrip strength (HGS) is a robust biomarker predicting future disability, metabolic syndrome, and diabetes. Urinary C-peptide creatinine ratio (UCPCR) emerges as a novel, non-invasive tool under exploration for assessing beta cell function and glucose regulation. Despite their significance in gauging muscle strength, mass, and overall metabolic function, gaps remain in understanding the full extent of handgrip strength and UCPCR's efficiency. This study aimed to identify a better biomarker for glucose regulation by studying the relationship between handgrip strength, urine c-peptide creatinine ratio, and blood glucose levels in adult females. Using ELISA, the study measured handgrip strength, blood glucose levels, and urine samples. Social demographic data was obtained through standard questionnaires, and statistical analysis was done using IBM 25 SPSS software with Pearson's correlation, linear regression at P=< 0.05, and T-test. The study found that handgrip strength (HGS) had a slight non-significant positive correlation with fasting blood sugar (FBS) (P=0.386). However, there was a significant correlation between HGS and 2 hours postprandial glucose (2HPG) in both dominant and non-dominant hands (P= 0.045 vs P= 0.017). Additionally, the study found that handgrip strength in the dominant hand was significantly stronger than that in the non-dominant hand (P= 0.001). On the other hand, the urinary C-peptide creatinine ratio (UCPCR) had no significant correlations with FBS and 2HPG. Handgrip strength measurements provide an indicative approach for glucose regulation and are a better biomarker for blood glucose regulation than UCPCR
