Type 1 diabetes

Phenotypes Associated With Zones Defined by Area Under the Curve Glucose and C-peptide in a Population With Islet Autoantibodies

Diabetes CarePublished Cross-sectional study

Authors' conclusion

Phenotypes of 25 zones formed from AUCGLU and AUCPEP were used to gain insights into type 1 diabetes heterogeneity. Zones were used to examine GCRC changes with increasing AUCGLU, associations between risk and autoantibody prevalence, the dependence of glucose as a predictor of risk according to C-peptide, and glucose heterogeneity from contributions of insulin secretion and insulin resistance.

Study context

Autoantibody-positive relatives of individuals with T1D, TrialNet Pathway to Prevention Study (TNPTP)25 zones
Participants
6,620 relatives
Outcome

Methodological detailsbaseline OGTT data from TrialNet Pathway to Prevention Study
  • Baseline OGTT data from TrialNet Pathway to Prevention Study

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

Correlation of 5-year T1D risk with islet antigen 2 antibody prevalence among zones
r = 0.96, P < 0.001
5-year T1D risk in highest area under the curve glucose (AUCGLU) row, lowest to highest AUCPEP column
0.88-0.41; P < 0.001
Correlation of AUCGLU with Index60 in highest AUCPEP column
r = 0.33
Correlation of AUCGLU with Index60 in other AUCPEP columns
r ≥ 0.78
AUCGLU positively related to fasting glucose × fasting insulin and fasting glucose × fasting C-peptide, before and after adjustment for Index60
P < 0.001

Observational data: associations, not effects.
