Authors' conclusion

The 2-hour 7-point OGTT is reliable in individuals with stage 1 T1D for assessment of β-cell responsiveness, SI, and DI. Incorporation of these analyses into current 2-hour diabetes staging and monitoring OGTTs offers the potential to more accurately quantify risk of progression in the early stages of T1D.

Study context

Population
Lean youth with stage 1 T1D (≥ 2 islet autoantibodies with no dysglycemia)
Participants
15 participants
Comparison
2-hour 7-point and 5-point OGTT protocols vs 3-hour 9-point OGTT
Primary endpoint
Agreement of oral minimal model estimates of β-cell responsiveness (φtotal), SI and disposition index (DI = φtotal × SI) with the 3-hour 9-point OGTT
Methodological detailsvalidation study of OGTT sampling protocols
  • Validation study of OGTT sampling protocols

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

Agreement of 2-h vs 3-h OGTT estimates of DI, β-cell responsiveness (φtotal) and SI
Correlation of 2-hour with 3-hour estimates, DI
r = 0.975; P < .001
Correlation of 2-hour with 3-hour estimates, β-cell responsiveness
r = 0.997; P < .001
Correlation of 2-hour with 3-hour estimates, sensitivity (SI)
r = 0.982; P < .001
Agreement of 7-point 2-hour and 9-point 3-hour protocols within the 95% CI on the Bland-Altman grid; median difference, DI
16.9% (−35.3 to 32.5)
Agreement of 7-point 2-hour and 9-point 3-hour protocols within the 95% CI on the Bland-Altman grid; median difference, φtotal
0.2% (−0.6 to 1.3)
Agreement of 7-point 2-hour and 9-point 3-hour protocols within the 95% CI on the Bland-Altman grid; median difference, SI
14.9% (−1.4 to 28.3)

Further findings

5-point 2-hour protocol: φ dynamic and static components

5-point protocol did not provide reliable estimates of φ dynamic and static components
