Abstract

This study was carried to ascertain whether stress responses are associated with abnormalities in glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity and pancreatic beta cell function and risk of type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Salivary cortisol, a marker of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and salivary α-amylase, a marker of sympathetic nervous system (SNS) were compared in 125 subjects of newly detected diabetes mellitus (NDDM) and normal glucose tolerance (NGT) subjects who were diagnosed on the basis of oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Assessment of stress in them was done through stress scales - presumptive stressful life events scale (PSLES), perceived stress scale (PSS) and sense of coherence (SOC) and correlated with these and other stress response markers. Significantly higher 10 pm salivary cortisol and post dexamethasone salivary cortisol were found in NDDM subjects as compared to NGT. 10 pm salivary cortisol correlated significantly with fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2 h plasma glucose (2h PG) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) while post dex salivary cortisol correlated with 2h PG, HbA1c and salivary α-amylase with 2h PG. Stepwise logistic regression analysis showed that body mass index (OR: 1.840), SOC (OR: 0.688) and 10 pm salivary cortisol (OR: 1.427) were the strongest predictors of NDDM. The results of the present study indicate that NDDM subjects display significantly higher chronic stress and stress responses when compared to subjects with NGT. Chronic stress and endocrine stress responses are significantly associated with glucose intolerance, insulin resistance and diabetes mellitus.

  • In adults newly diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, subjective stress, evening cortisol, and cortisol reactivity to an acute lab challenge are higher than in adults without diabetes, after BMI adjustment.

    “For instance, adults with new-onset Type 2 diabetes report greater subjective stress, have higher evening cortisol, and display a more pronounced cortisol response to an acute laboratory stressor than adults who do not have diabetes, even after controlling for differences in body mass index (BMI; Siddiqui et al., 2015).”

    The Results (page unavailable) report higher perceived-stress scores and 10 p.m. salivary cortisol in newly detected diabetes than in normal glucose tolerance; evening cortisol also remained an independent predictor in a model including BMI. The study did not test cortisol reactivity to an acute laboratory stressor: its post-challenge measure assessed suppression after an overnight dexamethasone dose. The BMI-adjusted analysis does not establish that every reported group difference persisted after adjustment. (LLM, conf=0.88)

  • Stress response dysregulation occurs in adults with Type 2 diabetes.

    “Dysegulation in stress response has been observed in adults with Type 2 diabetes (Champaneri et al., 2012; Siddiqui, Madhu, Sharma, & Desai, 2015).”

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.
