Abstract

Two are the main processes regulating post-challenge glucose uptake: one insulin-dependent, and the other mainly due to glucose disappearance per se (glucose effectiveness, SG, min-1), accounting for 60-80% of the whole disappearance. Aim of this study was providing an easy method for assessing SG with a short IVGTT (regular). Three groups of subjects were considered: CNT (control subjects, with normal glucose tolerance: n=158), PRE (subjects with prediabetes and/or pathologies causing insulin resistance: n=220), and T2D (subjects with type 2 diabetes: n=31). Fasting glucose and insulin (mean±SD) were 4.7±0.6, 4.8±0.9, 5.9±1.0 mmol·L-1 and 8.3±3.8, 12.3±9.3, 11.0±4.3 pmol·L-1, for CNT, PRE, T2D, respectively. Reference SG was assessed by Minimal Model analysis. In all grouped subjects, regression analyses were performed to identify a simple predictor (calculated SG, CSG) of reference SG, yielding CSG=α0+α1·KG/Gpeak, with KG slope of the glucose curve (10-50 min), Gpeak maximum glucose, α0=0.007 and α1=0.141. We found SG=0.022±0.010 min-1 and CSG=0.021±0.007 min-1. CSG showed excellent correlation with SG (r=0.65, p<0.001). Similar results were found in each group (r=0.64, p<0.001 in CNT, r=0.63, p<0.001 in PRE, r=0.75, p<0.001 in T2D). Also, SG and CSG were not significantly different, both in all subjects (p=0.34, paired t-test) and in the single groups (p>0.10). Bland-Altman analysis confirmed the substantial equivalence of the two indices, showing only 5% of samples outside the limits of agreement (both in all subjects and the single groups). When comparing SG and CSG among groups, both indices consistently showed lower values in PRE and T2D compared to CNT (p<0.008 for SG and p<0.0001 for CSG, by ANOVA). In conclusion, the first 50 minutes of the IVGTT are sufficient to yield a reliable estimation of glucose effectiveness through a simple approach, not requiring sophisticated mathematical modeling.
