Abstract

Objective The hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp (HEC) is the "gold standard" for measuring insulin sensitivity (Si-clamp). Here, we determined the reproducibility of serial HEC data in healthy subjects.Research design and methods The Pathobiology of Prediabetes in A Biracial Cohort study assessed incident prediabetes in healthy African Americans (AA) and European Americans (EA) with parental type 2 diabetes mellitus during 5.5 years of follow-up. Assessments included anthropometry, OGTT, and HEC. Ninety subjects (44 AA, 46 EA) who underwent Year-1HEC consented to Year-3 HEC. We calculated coefficients of variation (CVs), 95% limits of agreement, and repeatability coefficients for Year-1 and Year-3 data, and assessed the association of change in Si-clamp with incident prediabetes.Results The mean (SD) baseline age was 47.5 ± 8.13y, body mass index was 30.4 ± 9.16 kg/m 2, fasting plasma glucose was 93.7 ± 7.82 mg/dL and 2-hrPG was 126 ± 26.8 mg/dL. Si-clamp (umol/kg/min·pmol/L-1) was 0.071 ± 0.04 in Year 1 and 0.067 ± 0.04 in Year 3 (P = 0.22). Year 1 and Year 3 values were strongly correlated (r = 0.81, P < 0.0001); the CV was 13.6% and repeatability coefficient was ±0.025. Intrasubject differences in serial Si-clamp were less than the repeatability coefficients and within the 95% limits of agreement. After 5.5 years of follow-up, 40 subjects progressed to prediabetes and 50 were nonprogressors. The change in Si-clamp was greater in progressors than nonprogressors (-10% vs. -2.5%, P = 0.02).Conclusions The HEC is reproducible over ~2 years in free-living individuals, with a temporal decline in Si-clamp that predicts prediabetes risk.

  • Type 2 diabetes often remains undiagnosed for years because it is frequently asymptomatic.

    “T2D remains undiagnosed for years in many affected persons because they are frequently asymptomatic; therefore, screening individuals with multiple risk factors is needed to reduce the risk of long-term complications.38,39”

    From American Association of Clinical Endocrinology Clinical Practice Guideline: Developing a Diabetes Mellitus Comprehensive Care Plan-2022 Update. (2022) · cites this paper as [38]

    The Introduction and Results address insulin sensitivity and progression to prediabetes, not how long type 2 diabetes remains undiagnosed. Searches for asymptomatic or undiagnosed diabetes found no passage explaining a years-long diagnostic delay (section labels available; page numbers not provided). (LLM, conf=0.76)

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.
