Abstract

A dynamical network model of insulin‐glucose interactions in subjects with Type I Diabetes was developed and applied to data sets for 40 subjects. Each data set contained the amount of dextrose + insulin infused and blood glucose (BG) determinations, sampled every 5 minutes during a one‐hour standardized euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp and a subsequent one‐hour BG reduction to moderate hypoglycemic levels. The model approximated the temporal pattern of BG and on that basis predicted the counterregulatory response of each subject. The nonlinear fits explained more than 95% of the variance of subjects′ BG fluctuations, with a median coefficient of determination 97.7%. For all subjects the model‐predicted counterregulatory responses correlated with measured plasma epinephrine concentrations. The observed nadirs of BG during the tests correlated negatively with the model‐predicted insulin utilization coefficient (r = ‐0.51, p < 0.001) and counterregulation rates (r = ‐0.63, p < 0.001). Subjects with a history of multiple severe hypoglycemic episodes demonstrated slower onset of counterregulation compared to subjects with no such history (p < 0.03).

  • The phenomenon of insulin action paradoxically increasing when glucose decreases under a given threshold has been described during hyperinsulinemic clamps in T1DM.

    “This phenomenon has been described during hyperinsulemic clamps in T1DM. 9,10”

    From The UVA/PADOVA Type 1 Diabetes Simulator: New Features (2014) · cites this paper as [9]

    The Discussion (page unavailable) reports that, during hyperinsulinemic clamps in patients with type 1 diabetes, a lower glucose nadir was associated with faster model-estimated insulin utilization. It does not describe insulin action increasing within a patient as glucose crosses a particular threshold; the reported association is across subjects. (LLM, conf=0.85)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • When glucose falls below a given threshold, insulin sensitivity increases, resulting in enhanced glucose utilization and further reduction of plasma glucose.

    “Results in T1DM subjects suggest that, when glucose falls below a given threshold, insulin sensitivity increases, resulting in an enhanced glucose utilization, which further reduces the plasma glucose level.4–6”

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.
