In adults, a fragment of diabetic individuals with βcell autoantibodies has initially non Insulin requiring diabetes clinically performing as type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), named latent autoimmune diabetes in maturity (LADA) which on later years requires Insulin. LADA is either unnoticed or misdiagnosed in many cases. The occurrence GAD autoantibodies and positive levels of C-peptide analysis are tested to determine and finalize the patients’ Insulin dependency. The frequency of βcell autoantibodies (GAD) and C-Peptide analysis was determined in 31 Type 2 diabetic adults. The type of diabetes was classified by doing a Postprandial Blood Glucose test. Ten Type 1 diabetic patients and 10 ordinary people were also subjected to the three tests for comparative study. Twenty-three per cent of the adults with T2DM were tested positive for GAD autoantibody, and 61 per cent were tested positive (who came in T1DM range) for C-peptide analysis among them. 19% of the patients were tested positive for both GAD antibody and C-peptide analysis. Patients had the common symptoms of polyuria, polyphagia and polydipsia. In T2DM patients, 61% were females, and 39% were males, and all were non-obese. β‐cell autoantibodies were evident in a subcategory of initially non‐insulin needy diabetic adults with the clinical entrance of T2DM. This proves the existence and necessity for change in Insulin dependency.

Aim: Recent data have suggested that effective control of postprandial blood glucose can reduce the risk of macroangiopathic complications of diabetes, especially cardiovascular risk. 1,5-Anhydro-D-glucitol (1,5-AG) has been proposed as a marker of short-term hyperglycaemic excursions. We aimed to evaluate its usefulness in patients with type 2 diabetes and have attempted to indicate when 1,5-AG monitoring should be used in ordinary diabetes care settings. Methods: The study group consisted of 130 type 2 diabetic patients aged 36–69 years. 1,5-AG plasma level, HbA1c concentrations and daily glucose profile were measured. Mean blood glucose (MBG), M-value were calculated and maximal daily glycaemia (MxG) was established as indicators of short-term hyperglycaemic episodes. Results: 1,5-AG plasma level was negatively and HbA1c was positively correlated with fasting glycaemia (FG), MBG, M-value and MxG. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that 1,5-AG plasma level is determined by MxG only, while FG determined HbA1c concentration in blood. The analysis of 1,5-AG level and HbA1c distributions in well and poorly controlled patients revealed that persons with low HbA1c values may have decreased 1,5-AG plasma level. Conclusion: 1,5-AG plasma level monitoring is the useful method to identify well controlled, exclusively based on HbA1c levels type 2 diabetic patients with transient hyperglycaemia, accordingly patients at high risk of macroangiopathic complications.

Objective: Type-2 diabetes is a progressive disease. However, little is known about whether decreased fasting or postprandial pancreatic β-cell responsiveness is more prominent with increased duration of diabetes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between insulin secretion both during fasting and 2 h postprandial, and the duration of diabetes in type-2 diabetic patients. Design: Cross-sectional clinical investigation. Methods: We conducted a meal tolerance test in 1466 type-2 diabetic patients and calculated fasting (M0) and postprandial (M1) β-cell responsiveness. Results: The fasting C-peptide, postprandial C-peptide, M0, and M1 values were lower, but HbA1c values were higher, in patients with diabetes duration > 10 years than those in other groups. There was no difference in the HbA1c levels according to the tertiles of their fasting C-peptide level. However, in a group of patients with highest postprandial C-peptide tertile, the HbA1c values were significantly lower than those in other groups. After adjustment of age, sex, and body mass index (BMI), the duration of diabetes was found to be negatively correlated with fasting C-peptide (γ = −0.102), postprandial C-peptide (γ = −0.356), M0 (γ = −0.263), and M1 (γ = −0.315; P < 0.01 respectively). After adjustment of age, sex, and BMI, HbA1c was found to be negatively correlated with postprandial C-peptide (γ = −0.264), M0 (γ = −0.379), and M1 (γ = −0.522), however, positively correlated with fasting C-peptide (γ = 0.105; P < 0.01 respectively). In stepwise multiple regression analysis, M0, M1, and homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) emerged as predictors of HbAlc after adjustment for age, sex, and BMI (R2 = 0.272, 0.080, and 0.056 respectively). Conclusions: With increasing duration of diabetes, the decrease of postprandial insulin secretion is becoming more prominent, and postprandial β-cell responsiveness may be a more important determinant for glycemic control than fasting β-cell responsiveness.
