摘要

Objective: To identify the relationship between glycemic indices and 13 cell function in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. Methods: The cross-sectional analysis included 61 patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes who received continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) for 72 hours. The association between p cell function and glycemic indices including A1C and glycemic variability was investigated. Results: A1C (r=-0.405, p=0.001) and standard deviation of blood glucose (SDBG, r=0.274, p=0.032) were significantly correlated to HOMA-beta cell HBCI), whereas mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE, r=-0.210, p=0.104) was not informative. After multiple confounders adjustments, A1C (3=-7.35, p<0.001), MAGE (beta=-4.64, p=0.040), and SDBG (beta=12.3, p=0.012) were associated with HBCI. Conclusion: A1C and glycemic variability were both associated with beta cell function in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes. The main limitations of the present study are the cross-sectional design in nature and the limited sample size.
