Type 2 & other diabetes

High one-hour plasma glucose is an intermediate risk state and an early predictor of type 2 diabetes in a longitudinal Korean cohort

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Longitudinal cohort study

Authors' conclusion

High 1h-PG NGT is an intermediate risk category between Low 1h-PG NGT and PreDM and may provide an opportunity for early intervention to prese rve ß-cell function.

Study context

Population
Korean Genome Epidemiology study participants with OGTTs every 2 years over 10 years
Participants
6,144 participants
Exposure
High 1h-PG Normal Glucose Tolerance (NGT) and PreDM vs Low 1h-PG NGT
Outcome
Risk of T2D by baseline 1h-PG
Follow-up
10 years
Methodological details10-year follow-up, OGTTs every 2 years
  • 10-year follow-up
  • OGTTs every 2 years

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

T2D risk
  • T2D risk higher with High 1h-PG NGT and PreDM than with Low 1h-PG NGT

Observational data: associations, not effects.

Further findings

Baseline insulin sensitivity (insulin sensitivity and secretion (ISS) model, Matsuda insulin sensitivity index (ISI))

Higher in Low 1h-PG than High 1h-PG; High 1h-PG comparable to PreDM

β-cell function (ISS, insulinogenic index)

Decreased from Low 1h-PG to High 1h-PG to PreDM

Insulin sensitivity over time

Decreased in all three groups

Time to T2D

Shorter from High 1h-PG than from Low 1h-PG
0.9 years

1h-PG thresholds passed first before T2D

Passed 1h-PG threshold for T2D (209 mg/dL, 11.6 mmol/L) first
All participants
Passed 1h-PG threshold for impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) (155 mg/dL) first
74 %
