Effect of insulin sensitivity, insulin secretion, and beta cell function on the remission of type 2 diabetes: A post hoc analysis of the IDEATE trial

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Post hoc analysis of the IDEATE trial

Authors' conclusion

These findings supported the importance of aggressively implementing intensive lifestyle interventions for individuals with type 2 diabetes at an early stage of the disease, when beta cell function was not yet significantly impaired, to promote achieving diabetes remission.

Study context

Population
Individuals with T2D with HbA1c data at baseline and after intervention
Participants
301 individuals
Comparison
Diabetes remission vs non-remission; diet, exercise and lifestyle education interventions
Primary endpoint
Probability of achieving diabetes remission by phenotypes of insulin sensitivity, insulin secretion and beta cell function

Primary result

As reported in the abstract

  • Higher baseline disposition index (DI) or adaptation index: more likely to achieve remission
  • Remission had significantly greater increase in AUCc-pep0-30/AUCgluc0-30, DI and adaptation index vs non-remission
  • No between-group differences in insulin sensitivity indexes
  • Greater increases in insulin secretion and beta cell function: more likely to achieve remission

Further findings

Beta cell function indexes improved in all intervention groups; diet induced significant improvement vs lifestyle education
