Association between residual islet beta‐cell function and achieving the target of time in range in inpatients with type 2 diabetes undergoing antidiabetic treatment: An observation study

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Cross-sectional study

Authors' conclusion

Beta-cell function was associated with achieving TIR and TAR targets. Stimulating insulin secretion or exogenous insulin treatment could not overcome the disadvantage of lower beta-cell function on glycaemic control.

Study context

Population
Inpatients with T2D undergoing antidiabetic treatment
Participants
180 inpatients
Exposure
Lower vs higher beta-cell function
Outcome
Achieving TIR (>70%) and TAR (<25%) targets assessed by CGM
Follow-up
Following antidiabetic treatment

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Lower ISSI2 and not achieving TIR/TAR targets (logistic regression, adjusted)

Lower ISSI2, fewer achieving time in range (TIR) target: OR

3.10 (1.19-8.06) (95% CI)

Lower ISSI2, fewer achieving time above range (TAR) target: OR

3.40 (1.35-8.55) (95% CI)

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

Subgroup treated with insulin secretagogues

TIR: OR (95% CI), P
2.91 (0.90-9.36), P = .07
TAR: OR
3.14 (1.01-9.80) (95% CI)

Subgroup on adequate insulin therapy

TIR: OR (95% CI), P
2.84 (0.91-8.81), P = .07
TAR: OR
3.24 (1.08-9.67) (95% CI)

Diagnostic value (ROC) of ISSI2 for achieving targets

TIR target
0.73 (0.66-0.80) (95% CI)
TAR target
0.71 (0.63-0.79) (95% CI)
