Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is characterized by chronic hyperglycemia and progressive insulin resistance, leading to macro and microvascular dysfunction. Passive heating has potential to improve glucose homeostasis and act as an exercise mimetic. We assessed the effect of acute passive heating before or during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in people with T2DM. Twelve people with T2DM were randomly assigned to 3 conditions:1) 3 h OGTT (CON); 2) 1 h passive heating (40 °C water) 30 min before an OGTT (HOT-OGTT); and 3) 1 h passive heating (40 °C water) 30 min after commencing an OGTT (OGTT-HOT). Blood [glucose], insulin sensitivity, extracellular heat shock protein 70 (eHSP70), total energy expenditure (TEE), heart rate (HR), systolic (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) were recorded. Passive heating did not alter blood [glucose] (CON, 1,677 (386) a.u.; HOT-OGTT, 1,797 (340) a.u.; OGTT-HOT, 1,662 (364) a.u.; P = 0.28), insulin sensitivity (P = 0.15), or SBP (P = 0.18), but did increase [eHSP70] in both heating conditions (CON, 203.48 (110.81) pg·mL-1; HOT-OGTT, 402.47 (79.02) pg·mL-1; OGTT-HOT, 310.00 (60.53) pg·mL-1; P < 0.001), increased TEE (via fat oxidation) in the OGTT-HOT condition (CON, 263 (33) kcal; HOT-OGTT, 278 (40) kcal; OGTT-HOT, 304 (38) kcal; P = 0.001), increased HR in both heating conditions (P < 0.001) and reduced DBP in OGTT-HOT condition (P < 0.01). Passive heating in close proximity to a glucose challenge does not alter glucose tolerance but does increase [eHSP70] and TEE, and reduce blood pressure in people with T2DM.

Aim.To evaluate the prevalence of undiagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among patients with cardiovascular disease.Materials and methods.T2DM screening programs among patients with cardiovascular disease were held from 2013 to 2014 in several Russian cities. In total, 1001 patients aged ≥40 years with hypertension and/or atherosclerotic disease and without prior diagnosis of T2DM were screened in outpatient cardiology clinics. T2DM diagnosis was based on fasting plasma glucose levels, glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) and/or oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) results. Blood pressure (BP), family history of T2DM, cardiovascular disease, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and triglyceride levels were analysed.Results.Fasting glucose was measured in 1000 (99.8%) patients, HbA1c was measured in in 623 (62.2%) and OGTT was performed in 286 (2.6%). Fasting glucose detected 8% of newly diagnosed T2DM; among patients who underwentHbA1c measurement, the prevalence of T2DM was 10.91%, and among patients who underwent OGTT, the prevalence was 13.99%. Depending on the chosen test, the prevalence of undiagnosed pre-diabetes (impaired fasting glycaemia and impaired glucose tolerance) was in the range of 14.4%–36.4%. The majority of patients with T2DM diagnosed by OGTT did not have target blood pressure and lipid levels; 67.5% had elevated systolic BP, 47.5% had elevated diastolic BP, 90.9% had high LDL (≥1.8 mmol/l) and 52.9% had high triglyceride levels (≥1.7 mmol/l).Conclusion.A high prevalence of undiagnosed T2DM (from 8% to 13.99%, depending on the diagnostic criteria) and pre-diabetic state in patients with cardiovascular disease may require screening for T2DM in this high-risk group.

Plasma glucose, insulin, and C-peptide responses during an OGTT are informative for both research and clinical practice in type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study was to use such information to determine insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion so as to calculate an oral glucose disposition index (DIOGTT) that is a measure of pancreatic β-cell insulin secretory compensation for changing insulin sensitivity. We conducted an observational study of n = 187 subjects, representing the entire glucose tolerance continuum from normal glucose tolerance to type 2 diabetes. OGTT-derived insulin sensitivity (SI OGTT) was calculated using a novel multiple-regression model derived from insulin sensitivity measured by hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp as the independent variable. We also validated the novel SI OGTT in n = 40 subjects from an independent data set. Plasma C-peptide responses during OGTT were used to determine oral glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSISOGTT), and DIOGTT was calculated as the product of SI OGTT and GSISOGTT. Our novel SI OGTT showed high agreement with clamp-derived insulin sensitivity (typical error = +3.6%; r = 0.69, P < 0.0001) and that insulin sensitivity was lowest in subjects with impaired glucose tolerance and type 2 diabetes. GSISOGTT demonstrated a significant inverse relationship with SI OGTT. GSISOGTT was lowest in normal glucose-tolerant subjects and greatest in those with impaired glucose tolerance. DIOGTT was sequentially lower with advancing glucose intolerance. We hereby derive and validate a novel OGTT-derived measurement of insulin sensitivity across the entire glucose tolerance continuum and demonstrate that β-cell compensation for changing insulin sensitivity can be readily calculated from clinical variables collected during OGTT.

Abstract Background We aimed to develop a risk model, monitoring the FDRs of patients with type 2 diabetes, who have normal glucose tolerance, to predict the onset of developing diabetes and prediabetes. In this study, 1765 FDRs of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, who had normal glucose tolerance, were subjected to statistical analysis. Diabetes risk factors including anthropometric indices, physical activity, fast plasma glucose, plasma glucose concentrations two-hour after oral glucose administration, glycosylated hemoglobin, blood pressure, and lipid profile at the baseline were considered as independent variables. Kaplan-Meier, log Rank test, univariate, and multivariable proportional hazard Cox regression were conducted. The optimal cut point for risk score was created according to receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis. Results The best diabetes predictability was achieved by a model in which waist to hip ratio (WHR), HbA1c, OGTT and the lipid profile were included. The best prediabetes risk model included HbA1c, systolic blood pressure, the lipid profile, and the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). These multivariable risk models were compared with FPG, HbA1c, and OGTT. The predictive efficiencies of models were higher than FPG and HbA1c; however the best predictive model of the current study showed comparable predictive efficiency to OGTT-AUC. Additionally, both diabetes models showed better performance than FINDRISC. Conclusion We recommend regular tests for FDRs of patients with type 2 diabetes to predict the risk of diabetes and prediabetes by using the OGTT-AUC. As a health check assessment tool, our diabetes models showed a more precise predictor compared to FINDRISC in our population.

Abstract Context: There is little overlap between diabetes diagnosed by glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and blood glucose, and it is unclear which pathophysiological defects are captured when using HbA1c for diagnosis. Objective: We examined and compared the relationship between insulin sensitivity and β-cell function in different subphenotypes of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes (T2D). Design, Setting, and Participants: A cross-sectional analysis of the Danish ADDITION-PRO study was performed (n = 1713). Participants without known diabetes were classified into subgroups of prediabetes and T2D based on fasting or 2-hour glucose criteria or HbA1c. Insulin sensitivity and insulin release were determined from glucose and insulin concentrations during the oral glucose tolerance test, and disposition indices were calculated. Results: Individuals with prediabetes or T2D diagnosed by fasting glucose had lower absolute insulin release (P ≤ .01) and higher insulin sensitivity in response to glucose intake (P ≤ .01) but a similar disposition index (P ≥ .36), compared with individuals with elevated 2-hour glucose concentrations. Individuals with HbA1c-defined T2D or prediabetes had a mixture of the pathophysiological defects observed in the glucose-defined subgroups, and individuals with normoglycemia by HbA1c had worse pathophysiological abnormalities than individuals with normoglycemia by the glucose criteria. Conclusions: On average, the diagnostic HbA1c criteria for diabetes and prediabetes identified individuals with a mixture of the pathophysiological characteristics found when using the glucose criteria, but the diversity and pathophysiology captured by the oral glucose tolerance test cannot be captured when applying the more simple HbA1c criteria. Whether the disease progression and prognosis will differ in individuals diagnosed by fasting glucose, 2-hour glucose, or HbA1c should be examined in longitudinal studies.

Abstract Background Skin autofluorescence (SAF) is a non-invasive marker of tissue accumulation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGE). Recently, we demonstrated in the general population that elevated SAF levels predict the development of type 2 diabetes (T2D), cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality. We evaluated whether elevated SAF may predict the development of CVD and mortality in individuals with T2D. Methods We included 2349 people with T2D, available baseline SAF measurements (measured with the AGE reader) and follow-up data from the Lifelines Cohort Study. Of them, 2071 had no clinical CVD at baseline. 60% were already diagnosed with diabetes (median duration 5, IQR 2–9 years), while 40% were detected during the baseline examination by elevated fasting blood glucose ≥7.0 mmol/l) and/or HbA1c ≥6.5% (48 mmol/mol). Results Mean (±SD) age was 57 ± 12 yrs., BMI 30.2 ± 5.4 kg/m2. 11% of participants with known T2D were treated with diet, the others used oral glucose-lowering medication, with or without insulin; 6% was using insulin alone. Participants with known T2D had higher SAF than those with newly-detected T2D (SAF Z-score 0.56 ± 0.99 vs 0.34 ± 0.89 AU, p < 0.001), which reflects a longer duration of hyperglycaemia in the former group. Participants with existing CVD and T2D had the highest SAF Z-score: 0.78 ± 1.25 AU. During a median follow-up of 3.7 yrs., 195 (7.6%) developed an atherosclerotic CVD event, while 137 (5.4%) died. SAF was strongly associated with the combined outcome of a new CVD event or mortality (OR 2.59, 95% CI 2.10–3.20, p < 0.001), as well as incidence of CVD (OR 2.05, 95% CI 1.61–2.61, p < 0.001) and death (OR 2.98, 2.25–3.94, p < 0.001) as a single outcome. In multivariable analysis for the combined endpoint, SAF retained its significance when sex, systolic blood pressure, HbA1c, total cholesterol, eGFR, as well as antihypertensive and statin medication were included. In a similar multivariable model, SAF was independently associated with mortality as a single outcome, but not with incident CVD. Conclusions Measuring SAF can assist in prediction of incident cardiovascular disease and mortality in individuals with T2D. SAF showed a stronger association with future CVD events and mortality than cholesterol or blood pressure levels.
