Differences in glucose metabolism among categories of prediabetes have not been systematically investigated. In this longitudinal study, participants (<i>N</i>=2111) underwent 2h-75g OGTT at baseline and 48 months. HbA1c was also measured. We classified participants as having isolated prediabetes defect (impaired fasting glucose, IFG; impaired glucose tolerance, IGT; HbA1c-prediabetes, IA1c), two defects (IFG+IGT, IFG+IA1c, IGT+IA1c), or all defects (IFG+IGT+IA1c). Beta-cell function (BCF) and insulin sensitivity (IS) were assessed from OGTT. At baseline, when pooling participants with isolated defects, they showed impairment in both BCF and IS compared to healthy controls. Pooled groups with two or three defects showed progressive further deterioration. Among groups with isolated defect, IGT showed lower IS, insulin secretion at reference glucose (ISR<sub>r</sub>), and insulin secretion potentiation (p<0.002). Conversely, IA1c showed higher IS and ISR<sub>r</sub> (p<0.0001). Among groups with two defects, we similarly found differences in both BCF and IS. At 48 months, we found higher type 2 diabetes incidence for progressively increasing number of prediabetes defects (odds ratio >2, p<0.008). In conclusion, the prediabetes groups showed differences in type/degree of glucometabolic impairment. Compared to the pooled group with isolated defects, those with double or triple defect showed progressive differences in diabetes incidence.

It is well known that beta-cell function declines over time in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The beta-cell dysfunction, initially characterized by impairment in the first phase of insulin secretion following glucose stimulation, advances to a decline in second phase insulin secretion as the disease progresses. But whether this decline in beta-cell function occurs in adolescents with T2DM is uncertain. Investigators prospectively compared beta-cell functioning over time between 39 adolescents with newly diagnosed T2DM (mean age, 15 years; body-mass index z-score, 2.4) and 32 obese adolescents without T2DM of comparable body-mass index, gender, and race (mean age, 14) during a 2-year period. Recently, researchers from Duke University School of Medicine, Durham North Carolina reported that adolescents with newly diagnosed T2DM had a 25% annual decline in beta-cell function despite receiving treatment. In this study, the results of which were first presented at the American Diabetes Association (ADA), the participants were adolescents with T2DM, more than half of whom were being treated with insulin whereas 80% were taking oral anti-diabetes medications. Beta-cell function in this study, assessed at baseline and 6, 12, and 24 months was measured by insulin secretion in response to an intravenous glucose load adjusted for insulin sensitivity (disposition index). The authors observed that adolescents with T2DM had significantly higher levels of both insulin resistance and fasting glucose at baseline compared with controls. But during the two-year study, the study subjects experienced a significant increase in fasting glucose and a 25 percent annual decline in disposition index. Understandably, both these indicators remained unchanged among the controls. JMS 2017;20(2):116

IntroductionTo evaluate the effects of efpeglenatide, a long-acting glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1 RA), on gastric emptying, glucose metabolism, and islet beta-cell function versus liraglutide and placebo in people with type 2 diabetes.Research design and methodsThis phase Ib study (ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT02059564) randomized participants (n=47) to three cohorts. Within the first two cohorts, participants were randomized to placebo, efpeglenatide 6 mg weekly (QW; first cohort), or efpeglenatide 16 mg monthly (QM; second cohort). The third cohort received liraglutide 1.8 mg daily (QD). Gastric emptying was assessed through the pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of acetaminophen at baseline and steady state. Glucose metabolism and beta-cell function were assessed based on mixed-meal tolerance testing and a graded glucose infusion procedure.ResultsTreatment duration was approximately 3 months for efpeglenatide 16 mg QM and 1 month for efpeglenatide 6 mg QW and liraglutide. At peak drug concentrations, efpeglenatide 6 mg QW was non-inferior to liraglutide 1.8 mg QD in delaying gastric emptying, as assessed by acetaminophen PK (lower bound of 90% CI for the efpeglenatide:liraglutide ratio >0.8 for area under the curve (AUC)0–120, AUC0–180, AUC0–360 and maximum concentration (Cmax)). Efpeglenatide 16 mg QM did not decrease the rate of gastric emptying to as great an extent as liraglutide (ie, non-inferiority was not shown). Compared with liraglutide, both efpeglenatide dosing regimens demonstrated comparable or more favorable glucometabolic effects and improved beta-cell function. All gastrointestinal adverse events reported with efpeglenatide were mild or moderate in severity and transient over treatment and follow-up.ConclusionsThe glucometabolic effects of efpeglenatide 6 mg QW and 16 mg QM were comparable to liraglutide. Additional studies are necessary to further examine these benefits of efpeglenatide.Trial registration numberNCT02059564.

beta-Cell function and glucose metabolism were studied in eight insulin-dependent diabetic recipients of combined segmental pancreas and kidney transplant with peripheral insulin delivery (Px), in eight nondiabetic kidney-transplant individuals (Kx), and in eight normal subjects (Ns) after three consecutive mixed meals. All subjects had normal fasting plasma glucose, but increased basal levels of C-peptide were demonstrated in the transplant groups (P < 0.05 relative to Ns). Postprandial hyperglycemia was increased 14% in Kx and 32% in Px (P < 0.05), whereas compared with Ns postprandial C-peptide levels were increased three- and twofold, respectively, in Kx and Px (P < 0.05). Compared with Ns basal insulin secretion rate (combined model) was increased 2-fold in Kx and 1.4-fold in Px (P < 0.05). Maximal insulin secretion rate was reduced 25% in Px compared with Kx (P < 0.05) but not different from that of Ns (P NS). Also, maximal insulin secretion rate occurred later in Px than in controls (Tmax: Px 50 min, Kx 30 min, and Ns 32 min; P < 0.05). The total integrated insulin secretion was increased 1.4-fold in Px compared with Ns (P < 0.05) but decreased 1.4-fold compared with Kx (P < 0.05). Fasting and postprandial proinsulin-to-C-peptide molar ratios were inappropriately increased in Px compared with Kx and Ns. Basal hepatic glucose production was increased 43% in Px and 33% in Kx compared with Ns (P < 0.05). Postprandial total systemic glucose appearance was similar in all three groups, whereas peripheral glucose disposal was 15% reduced in Px (P < 0.05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract Objective This study aimed to clarify the clinical significance of the maximum body mass index (BMI) before the onset of type 2 diabetes (MBBO) for predicting pancreatic beta-cell function. Methods This was a cross-sectional observational study. Of 1304 consecutively admitted patients with type 2 diabetes, we enrolled 410 patients satisfying the criteria in this study. The correlations between the C-peptide index (CPI), which is one of the parameters that reflects beta-cell function, and various clinical parameters, including MBBO and duration of diabetes, were analyzed in multiple linear regression analyses. Results The analyses revealed that MBBO was correlated with CPI independently after adjustment for age, sex, HbA1c, and duration of diabetes. When we divided the subjects into three subgroups by MBBO (MBBO &lt; 25 kg/m2; 25 kg/m2 ≤ MBBO &lt; 30 kg/m2; MBBO ≥ 30 kg/m2), CPI was negatively correlated with duration of diabetes in each subgroup, while the rates of CPI based on the duration of diabetes were not different among the three MBBO subgroups. In contrast, the declining rates of CPI were higher in the BMI ≥ 25 kg/m2 group on admission than in the BMI &lt; 25 kg/m2 group on admission. Conclusions MBBO may be an independent factor correlating with beta-cell function and may predict insulin secretion capacity at diagnosis, but it does not seem to affect the rate of decline in insulin secretion capacity after diagnosis. It is important to preserve beta-cell function by decreasing a patient’s BMI during treatment after diagnosis regardless of MBBO.

Abstract To describe glucose metabolism in the late, weight stable phase after Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) in patients with and without preoperative type 2 diabetes we invited 55 RYGB-operated persons from two existing cohorts to participate in a late follow-up study. 44 (24 with normal glucose tolerance (NGT)/20 with type 2 diabetes (T2D) before surgery) accepted the invitation (median follow-up 2.7 [Range 2.2–5.0 years]). Subjects were examined during an oral glucose stimulus and results compared to preoperative and 1-year (1 y) post RYGB results. Glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, beta-cell function and incretin hormone secretion were evaluated. 1 y weight loss was maintained late after surgery. Glycemic control, insulin resistance, beta-cell function and GLP-1 remained improved late after surgery in both groups. In NGT subjects, nadir glucose decreased 1 y after RYGB, but did not change further. In T2D patients, relative change in weight from 1 y to late after RYGB correlated with relative change in fasting glucose and HbA1c, whereas relative changes in glucose-stimulated insulin release correlated inversely with relative changes in postprandial glucose excursions. In NGT subjects, relative changes in postprandial nadir glucose correlated with changes in beta-cell glucose sensitivity. Thus, effects of RYGB on weight and glucose metabolism are maintained late after surgery in patients with and without preoperative T2D. Weight loss and improved beta-cell function both contribute to maintenance of long-term glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes, and increased glucose stimulated insulin secretion may contribute to postprandial hypoglycemia in NGT subjects.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by impaired glucose-stimulated insulin secretion and increased peripheral insulin resistance. Unremitting endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress can lead to beta-cell apoptosis and has been linked to type 2 diabetes. Although many studies have attempted to link ER stress and T2DM, the specific effects of ER stress on beta-cell function remain incompletely understood. To determine the interrelationship between ER stress and beta-cell function, here we treated insulin-secreting INS-1(832/13) cells or isolated mouse islets with the ER stress–inducer tunicamycin (TM). TM induced ER stress as expected, as evidenced by activation of the unfolded protein response. Beta cells treated with TM also exhibited concomitant alterations in their electrical activity and cytosolic free Ca2+ oscillations. As ER stress is known to reduce ER Ca2+ levels, we tested the hypothesis that the observed increase in Ca2+ oscillations occurred because of reduced ER Ca2+ levels and, in turn, increased store-operated Ca2+ entry. TM-induced cytosolic Ca2+ and membrane electrical oscillations were acutely inhibited by YM58483, which blocks store-operated Ca2+ channels. Significantly, TM-treated cells secreted increased insulin under conditions normally associated with only minimal release, e.g. 5 mm glucose, and YM58483 blocked this secretion. Taken together, these results support a critical role for ER Ca2+ depletion–activated Ca2+ current in mediating Ca2+-induced insulin secretion in response to ER stress.

Aims Previous studies suggest that small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) is associated with type 2 diabetes. However, few studies have evaluated the association between SIBO and beta-cell function in type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether beta-cell function was associated with SIBO. Materials and methods One hundred four patients with type 2 diabetes were included in this study. Based on the presence of SIBO, the patients were divided into SIBO-positive and SIBO-negative groups. Oral glucose tolerance tests were performed. Insulin sensitivity was measured using 1/homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (1/HOMA-IR) and the insulin sensitivity index (ISIM). Insulin release was calculated by HOMA-β, early-phase insulin secretion index InsAUC30/GluAUC30, and total-phase insulin secretion index InsAUC120/GluAUC120. Results Compared with the SIBO-negative group, patients in the SIBO-positive group showed a higher glucose level at 120 minutes, HbA1c, 1/HOMA-IR, and ISIM and a lower HOMA-β level, early-phase InsAUC30/GluAUC30, and total-phase InsAUC120/GluAUC120. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that body mass index, glucose at 0 minutes, and SIBO were independently associated with the early-phase and total-phase insulin secretion. Conclusion SIBO may be involved in lower levels of insulin release and worse glycemic control.
