Abstract Context The time-to-glucose-peak following the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is a highly reproducible marker for diabetes risk. In obese youths, we lack evidence for the mechanisms underlying the effects of the TCF7L2 rs7903146 variant on glucose peak. Methods We analyzed the metabolic phenotype and the genotype for the TCF7L2 rs7903146 in 630 obese youths with normal (NGT) and impaired (IGT) glucose tolerance. Participants underwent a 3-hour, 9-point OGTT to estimate, using the oral minimal model, the disposition index (DI), the static (φstatic) and dynamic (φdynamic) components β-cell responsiveness and insulin sensitivity (SI). In a subgroup (n = 241) longitudinally followed for 2 years, we estimated the effect of time-to-glucose-peak on glucose tolerance change. Results Participants were grouped into early (<30 minutes) and late (≥30 minutes) glucose peakers. A delayed glucose peak was featured by a decline in φstatic (P < .001) in the absence of a difference in φdynamic. The prevalence of T-risk allele for TCF7L2 rs7903146 variant significantly increased in the late peak group. A lower DI was correlated with higher glucose concentration at 1 and 2 hours, whereas SI was inversely associated with 1-hour glucose. Glucose peak <30 minutes was protective toward worsening of glucose tolerance overtime (odds ratio 0.35 [0.15–0.82]; P = .015), with no subjects progressing to NGT or persisting IGT, in contrast to the 40% of progressor in those with late glucose peak. Conclusion The prevalence of T-risk allele for the TCF7L2 rs7903146 prevailed in the late time-to-glucose peak group, which in turn is associated with impaired β-cell responsiveness to glucose (φ), thereby predisposing to prediabetes and diabetes in obese youths.

Abstract Background Human data supporting a role for endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress and calcium dyshomeostasis in diabetes is scarce. Darier disease (DD) is a hereditary skin disease caused by mutations in the ATP2A2 gene encoding the sarcoendoplasmic-reticulum ATPase 2 (SERCA2) calcium pump, which causes calcium dyshomeostasis and ER stress. We hypothesize that DD patients have a diabetes-like metabolic phenotype and the objective of this study was to examine the association between DD with impaired glucose tolerance and diabetes. Methods Cross-sectional clinical study on 25 DD patients and 25 matched controls. Metabolic status was assessed primarily by fasting blood glucose, oral glucose tolerance test, HOMA2-%S (insulin resistence) and HOMA2-%B (beta cell function). Results DD subjects showed normal oral glucose tolerance test and HOMA2-%S, while fasting blood glucose was lower and c-peptide as well as HOMA2-%B was higher. Conclusion Increased HOMA2-%B values are indicative of increased basal insulin secretion which is a type of beta cell dysfunction associated to diabetes development. These results supports a role of ER stress in diabetes pathophysiology and contribute to the understanding of DD as a multi-organ syndrome.

Abstract Background The single nucleotide polymorphism in TCF7L2 rs7903146 is associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus and gestational diabetes mellitus. Mechanisms by which this mutation acts, and its impact on the clinical course of the diseases remain unclear. Here we investigated the clinical impact of the T risk allele in women with gestational diabetes mellitus. Methods We genotyped the C/T polymorphism in 164 Caucasian women with GDM (German n=114; Greek n=50). The impact of the T allele on the results of the 75g oral-glucose-tolerance-test, and on the required therapy (diet/lifestyle or insulin) was investigated. Results During oral-glucose-tolerance-test, women harboring the T allele displayed significantly higher glucose values at 60 min (p=0.034) and were more likely to require insulin therapy even after adjusting for confounders, such as BMI and age. Conclusion These results provide evidence that the T risk allele in TCF7L2 rs7903146 is associated with failure in early postprandial glycemic control and requirement of insulin therapy in women with gestational diabetes mellitus, even after adjusting for confounding factors such BMI and age.

Abstract Abstract 2158 Introduction: Both insulin deficiency and insulin resistance are reported in patients with β thalassemia major (BTM). The use of continuous blood glucose monitoring system (CGMS) among the different methods for early detection of glycaemic abnormalities has not been studied thoroughly in these patients. Aims: The aims of this study were: 1. to detect glycaemic abnormalities, if any, in young adults with BTM using fasting blood glucose (FBG), oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), 72-h continuous glucose concentration by CGMS system, and serum insulin and C-peptide concentrations 2. To compare the results of these two methods in detecting glycaemic abnormalities in these patients and 3. To calculate homeostatic model assessment (HOMA), and the quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI) in these patients. In order to evaluate whether glycaemic abnormalities are due to insulin deficiency and/or resistance. Materials and methods: Randomly selected young adults (n = 14) with BTM were the subjects of this study. All patients were investigated using a standard oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) (using 75 gram of glucose) and 72-h continuous glucose concentration by CGM system (Medtronic system). Fasting serum insulin and C-peptide concentrations were measured and HOMA-B, HOMA-IR were calculated accordingly. Results: Using OGTT, 5 patients had impaired fasting glucose (IFG) (Fasting BG from 5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L). Two of them had impaired glucose tolerance IGT (BG from 7.8 and < 11.1 mmol/L) and one had BG = 16.2 mmol/L after 2-hrs (diabetic). Using CGMS in addition to the glucose data measured by glucometer (3–5 times/ day), 6 patients had IFG. The maximum (postprandial) BG recorded exceeded 11.1 mmol/L in 4 patients (28.5%) (Diabetics) and was > 7.8 but < 11.1 mmol/L in 8 patients (57%) (IGT). The mean values of HOMA and QUICKI in patients with BTM were < 2.6 (1.6± 0.8) and > 0.33 (0.36±0.03) respectively ruling out significant insulin resistance in these adolescents. There was a significant negative correlation between the β-cell function (B %) on the one hand and the fasting and the 2-h BG (r= −0.6, and − 0.48, P< 0.01 respectively) on the other hand. Serum insulin concentrations were not correlated with fasting BG or ferritin levels. The average and maximum BG levels recorded by CGMS were significantly correlated with the fasting BG (r= 0.69 and 0.6 respectively with P < 0.01) and with the BG at 2-hour after oral glucose intake (r= 0.87and 0.86 respectively with P < 0.01). Ferritin concentrations were positively correlated with the fasting BG and the 2-h BG levels in the OGTT (r= 0.69, 0.43 respectively, P < 0.001) as well as with the average and the maximum BG recorded by CGM (r =0.75, and 0.64 respectively with P < 0.01). Ferritin concentrations were negatively correlated with the β-cell function (r= −0.41, P< 0.01). Conclusion: CGMS has proved to be superior to OGTT for the diagnosis of glycaemic abnormalities in young adult patients with BTM. In our patients, defective β-cell function rather than insulin resistance appeared to be the cause for these abnormalities. The significant correlations between serum ferritin concentrations and the beta cell functions suggested the importance of adequate chelation to prevent β-cell dysfunction Disclosures: No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

The Relationship

Although a hyperbolic relationship between insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity has been shown, the relationship has been often questioned. We examined the relationship using oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)-derived indexes. A total of 374 Japanese subjects who had never been given a diagnosis of diabetes underwent a 75-g OGTT. In subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT), the ln [insulinogenic index (IGI)] was described by a linear function of ln ( x) ( x, insulin sensitivity index) in regression analysis when the reciprocal of the insulin resistance index in homeostasis model assessment, Matsuda's index, and oral glucose insulin sensitivity index were used as x. Because the 95% confidence interval of the slope of the regression line did not necessarily include −1, the relationships between IGI and x were not always hyperbolic, but power functions IGI × xα = a constant. We thought that IGI × xα was an appropriate β-cell function estimate adjusted by insulin sensitivity and referred to it as β-cell function index (BI). When Matsuda's index was employed as x, the BI values were decreased in subjects without NGT. Log BI had a better correlation with fasting plasma glucose (PG; FPG) and 2-h PG in non-NGT subjects than in NGT subjects. In subjects with any glucose tolerance, log BI was linearly correlated with 1-h PG and glucose spike (the difference between maximum PG and FPG). In conclusion, the relationship between insulin secretion and insulin sensitivity was not always hyperbolic. The BI is a useful tool in the estimation of β-cell function with a mathematical basis.

Abstract Objective: Insulin sensitivity and secretion during early and late pregnancy were assessed in women with normal glucose tolerance and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Research Design and Methods: The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed in 903 women at 16–20th gestational week, of whom 37 had GDM (GDM1 group), and 859 repeated the OGTT at wk 26–30. At the second test, 55 had GDM (GDM2 group); the others remained normotolerant (ND group). Insulin sensitivity from OGTT (as quantitative insulin sensitivity check index and OGTT insulin sensitivity) and β-cell function (as the ratio of the areas under the insulin and glucose concentration curves, adjusted for insulin sensitivity) were assessed in both tests. Results: In early pregnancy the quantitative insulin sensitivity check index was not different in the three groups, whereas OGTT insulin sensitivity was lowest in GDM2, intermediate in GDM1, and highest in ND. In late pregnancy both indices were reduced in GDM compared with ND and lower than in early pregnancy. In early pregnancy GDM1, but not GDM2, had lower β-cell function than ND. During the late visit, GDM2 also showed impaired β-cell function compared with ND; furthermore, the adaptation to the increase to insulin resistance from early to late pregnancy was defective in GDM2. Conclusions: In early pregnancy insulin sensitivity, as assessed from the OGTT but not from fasting measurements, is impaired in women who developed GDM. β-Cell function impairment is evident only when GDM is manifest and is characterized by inappropriate adaptation to the pregnancy induced increase in insulin resistance.
