Abstract

OBJECTIVE: In adults, type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is characterized with progressive deterioration in insulin secretion. Data are scanty in youth. We investigated prospectively the change in β-cell function and in insulin sensitivity in youth with T2DM. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Six adolescents with T2DM [hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) 6.6 ± 1.0%] underwent evaluation of hepatic glucose production (HGP; [6,6-²H₂] glucose), insulin-stimulated glucose disposal (Rd; hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp), first- and second-phase insulin/C-peptide secretion (hyperglycemic clamp), body composition dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA), and abdominal adiposity (computed tomography) within 3 yr of the diagnosis of diabetes and after 12-16 months of follow-up. RESULTS: Weight, body mass index (37.1 ± 6.9), HbA1c (6.3 ± 0.7%), HGP (2.8 ± 1.2 mg/kg/min), and Rd (4.9 ± 3.4 mg/kg/min) did not change significantly from baseline. However, first-phase insulin and C-peptide declined (152.6 ± 261.2 vs. 75.9 ± 108.5 μU/mL, p = 0.028; 8.0 ± 6.3 vs. 5.9 ± 4.4 ng/mL, p = 0.048, respectively) with no significant change in second-phase insulin/C-peptide. The rate of decline in β-cell function was ∼20% per year. CONCLUSIONS: After a median duration of 20 months of diabetes, youth with T2DM manifest a rapid decline in β-cell function with no significant changes in peripheral or hepatic insulin sensitivity. Interventions to retard this deterioration in β-cell function should be investigated.

  • Younger people with type 2 diabetes can have up to three times more liver fat than BMI-matched non-diabetic controls and than middle-aged or older type 2 diabetes presentations.

    “and younger people with T2DM can have much higher (up to 3 times) amounts of liver fat compared with BMI-matched non-diabetic controls and compared with presentations of T2DM in middle and later life 24,”

    From Type 2 diabetes in adolescents and young adults (2018) · cites this paper as [24]

    The Results section (‘Study subjects and fasting metabolic profile’; page unavailable) reports abdominal fat and hepatic insulin sensitivity, but not liver-fat amounts. Searches for liver fat, intrahepatic fat, and a threefold difference found no comparison with BMI-matched non-diabetic controls or older people with type 2 diabetes in our copy. (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.
