OBJECTIVE-Overweight in youth is associated with the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. We hypothesized that beta-cell function relative to insulin sensitivity decreases with increasing 2-h glucose levels based on an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in overweight youth.
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-A total of 147 overweight (BMI >= 85th percentile for age and sex) youth, aged 8 to <20 years, undertook three tests: 1) a 3-h hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp; 2) a 2-h hyperglycemic damp: and 3) a 2-h OGTT. Participants were categorically assigned to five groups according to their OGIT 2-h plasma glucose level, ranging from <120 to >= 200 mg/dL. beta-Cell function relative to insulin sensitivity, assessed by clamp disposition index (DI) and oral disposition index (DI(O)), were compared among groups.
RESULTS-Insulin sensitivity, first-phase insulin, and DI declined significantly as 2-h glucose concentrations increased. The highest DI was found in youth with 2-h plasma glucose concentrations <120 mg/dL, with a significant decline of similar to 40% in those with glucose concentrations between 120 and <140 mg/dL, and an similar to 75% decline, the lowest DI, in youth with glucose concentrations >= 200 mg/dL. Data were similar with regard to the OGTT DI(O).
CONCLUSIONS-These data in overweight youth demonstrate that impairment in insulin secretion relative to insulin sensitivity is apparent even with normal glucose tolerance. Below the current cutoff of 140 mg/dL for impaired glucose tolerance, there is a >30% decline in beta-cell function relative to insulin sensitivity. Against this back drop of metabolically heightened risk for type 2 diabetes, preventive measures should target the beta-cell alongside insulin sensitization. Diabetes Care 34:2033-2040, 2011
