Type 2 & other diabetes

Circulating levels of gastrointestinal hormones in prediabetes reversing to normoglycemia or progressing to diabetes in a year–A cross-sectional and prospective analysis

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Cross-sectional and prospective cohort study

Authors' conclusion

Incretins, glucagon and glicentin profiles in prediabetic state cannot predict future glycemic traits, but prediabetes progressing to diabetes is accompanied by deterioration of postprandial increases of GLP-1 and glicentin.

Study context

Population
Subjects who all had prediabetes one year before; GLP-1, glucagon, GIP and glicentin measured during OGTT106 with 1-year-prior data
Participants
125 subjects
Exposure
Prediabetes progressing to diabetes vs regressing to normal glucose tolerance (NGT)
  • Diabetesn = 30
  • Prediabetesn = 65
  • NGTn = 30reference
Outcome
GI hormone levels during OGTT
Methodological details5-timepoint OGTT, one-year follow-up
  • 5-timepoint OGTT
  • One-year follow-up

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

  • At baseline (all prediabetic), hormonal levels did not differ between groups
  • One year later, progression to diabetes vs regression to NGT: lower postprandial increases of glicentin and GLP-1, lower postprandial decrease of glucagon, higher fasting GIP

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

Correlations of 1-year changes · one year

Changes in glicentin and GLP-1 AUC correlated negatively with changes in glucose AUC of OGTT and with changes in β-cell function markers
