Abstract

AIMS: We aimed to review insulin dosing recommendations, insulin regulation and its determinants, glycaemic response to carbohydrates, and the efficacy and safety of insulin therapy in different races/ethnicities. METHODS: We searched for articles in PubMed and Google Scholar databases up to 31 March 2021, with the following keywords: "ethnicity", "diabetes", "insulin", "history of insulin", "insulin therapy", "food/rice", "carbohydrate intake", "insulin resistance", "BMI", "insulin dosing", "insulin sensitivity", "insulin response", "glycaemic index", "glycaemic response", "efficacy and safety", with interposition of the Boolean operator "AND".In addition, we reviewed the reference lists of the articles found. RESULTS: The differential effect of race/ethnicity has not yet been considered in current insulin therapy guidelines. Nevertheless, body size and composition, body mass index, fat distribution, diet, storage, and energy expenditure vary significantly across populations. Further, insulin sensitivity, insulin response, and glycaemicresponse to carbohydrates differ by ethnicity. These disparities may lead to different insulin requirements, adversely impacting the efficacy and safety of insulin therapy among ethnic groups. CONCLUSIONS: Race/ethnicity affects glucose metabolism and insulin regulation.Until now, international guidelines addressing racial/ethnic-specific clinical recommendations are limited. Comprehensive updated insulin therapy guidelines by ethnicity are urgently needed.

  • East Asian populations are characterized by distinct metabolic and anthropometric profiles compared to Western populations, including lower body mass index, differences in body composition, and unique dietary patterns.

    “East Asian populations are characterized by distinct metabolic and anthropometric profiles compared to Western populations, including lower body mass index (BMI), differences in body composition, and unique dietary patterns 11 , 12 .”

    From A study of changes in insulin requirements related to the menstrual cycle in Japanese women with type 1 diabetes using the advanced hybrid closed‐loop system (2026) · cites this paper as [12]

    Section 2.5 reports that East Asians have lower mean BMI and less visceral fat than Caucasians, supporting the anthropometric and body-composition comparisons. The section on glycaemic response to carbohydrates contrasts Asian and Western diets, but describes Asian diets broadly rather than establishing a dietary pattern specific to East Asian populations. No page numbers are available in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.82)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • Population-specific differences in body composition and insulin sensitivity among Asian individuals, together with dietary carbohydrate patterns, may contribute to higher insulin requirements.

    “Additionally, population‐specific differences in body composition and insulin sensitivity among Asian individuals 12 , together with dietary carbohydrate patterns 18 , 19 , may also contribute.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
