Aim.To evaluate the differences in insulin resistance (IR) among subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT), hyperinsulinemia with NGT (HINS), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), and newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods.5 NGT, 25 HINS, 25 IGT, and 25 T2DM subjects participated in this research. The hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp technique (HECT) was performed in all of them to evaluate IR levels. The relative factors influencing IR were evaluated. The simple insulin sensitivity indices were calculated, and the correlation between each index and the M value was analyzed.Results.TheMvalues of NGT, HINS, IGT, and T2DM groups were 11.88 ± 2.93 mg·kg−1·min−1, 6.23 ± 1.73 mg·kg−1·min−1, 6.37 ± 2.12 mg·kg−1·min−1, and 6.19 ± 1.89 mg·kg−1·min−1, respectively.Mvalues in HINS, IGT, and T2DM groups were lower than those in the NGT group (P=0.005); however, the differences among the HINS, IGT, and T2DM groups were not statistically significant (P=0.835). The independent factors influencing theMvalue were waistline and fasting insulin level (FINS). The simple insulin sensitivity indices, especially Matsuda and Gutt index, were significantly associated with theMvalue (P<0.01).Conclusion.IR existed in the HINS, IGT, and T2DM groups, and IR levels were consistent in the three groups. The independent factors influencing IR were waistline and FINS.

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the frequency of impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (Type 2 DM) in siblings of patients with Type 2 DM, and to assess insulin release and insulin sensitivity in siblings with normal glucose tolerance (NGT), compared with NGT spouses of probands without family history of Type 2 DM. DESIGN AND METHODS: We evaluated 87 families including 103 Type 2 DM patients (87 probands), and we carried out an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in 130 siblings and in 60 spouses. Among NGT subjects, 12 siblings and 16 spouses underwent a low-dose insulin-glucose infusion test (LDIGIT) to evaluate C-peptide release and insulin sensitivity. RESULTS: After the OGTT, 24 siblings were classified as having Type 2 DM, 31 as IGT, and only 14 spouses as IGT (P=0.0012 vs siblings). NGT siblings (n=75) showed higher insulin levels at 120 min than NGT spouses (n=46) at OGTT, in spite of identical blood glucose levels; at LDIGIT, NGT siblings secreted more C-peptide and showed a lower insulin sensitivity than NGT spouses. CONCLUSIONS: These data indicate that middle-aged siblings of probands with Type 2 DM have a high frequency of IGT and Type 2 DM, and that NGT siblings have increased insulin resistance and increased insulin secretion when compared with adequate controls.

Limited data suggest that folate levels are higher in patients with type 2 diabetes than in subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT). We compared the fasting plasma folate, glucose (FPG), body mass index (BMI), and supplementary vitamin use among male subjects with NGT, those with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), those with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes, and those with previously diagnosed type 2 diabetes. Plasma folate of patients with newly diagnosed diabetes and that of patients with previously diagnosed diabetes was significantly higher than that of NGT subjects (p < 0.001). Prevalence of vitamin use was lower in newly diagnosed or previously diagnosed diabetic patients compared with non-diabetic subjects. Self-rated vegetable intake was similar among the four groups. FPG, BMI, triglycerides, and systolic blood pressure correlated with plasma folate levels independently of lifestyle factors studied. These results suggest that plasma folate levels are elevated in male diabetic patients independently of health-conscious behavior that is recommended for diabetic people.

Abstract Context Type 2 diabetes is associated with a greater risk for musculoskeletal disorders, yet its impact on joint function remains unclear. Objective We hypothesized that patients with type 2 diabetes and osteoarthritis would exhibit musculoskeletal impairment, which would associate with insulin resistance and distinct microRNA profiles. Methods Participants of the German Diabetes Study with type 2 diabetes (T2D, n = 39) or normal glucose tolerance (CON, n = 27), both with (+OA) or without osteoarthritis (-OA) underwent intravenous glucose tolerance and hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp tests. Musculoskeletal function was assessed by isometric knee extension strength (KES), grip strength, range of motion (ROM), and balance skills, while neural function was measured by nerve conductance velocity (NCV). Arthritis-related symptoms were quantified using the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) questionnaire, serum arthritis-related microRNA using quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Results Insulin sensitivity was lower in T2D+OA vs T2D-OA (4.4 ± 2.0 vs 5.7 ± 3.0 mg* kg–1*min–1) and in CON+OA vs CON-OA (8.1 ± 2.0 vs 12.0 ± 2.6 mg*kg–1,*min–1, both P &lt; .05). In T2D+OA, KES and ROM were 60% and 22% lower than in CON+OA, respectively (both P &lt; .05). Insulin sensitivity correlated positively with KES (r = 0.41, P &lt; .05) among T2D, and negatively with symptom severity in CON and T2D (r = –0.60 and r = –0.46, respectively, P &lt; .05). CON+OA and T2D+OA had inferior balance skills than CON-OA, whereas NCV was comparable in T2D+OA and T2D-OA. Expression of arthritis-related microRNAs was upregulated in T2D compared to CON, but downregulated in CON+OA compared to CON-OA (P &lt; .05), and did not differ between T2D+OA and T2D-OA. Conclusion Musculoskeletal impairment and osteoarthritis-related symptoms are associated with insulin resistance. Type 2 diabetes can mask changes in arthritis-related microRNA profiles.
