ABSTRACT
-
Background
- Diabetes can be efficiently prevented by life style modification and medical therapy. So, identification for high risk subjects for incident type 2 diabetes is important. The aim of this study is to identify the best β-cell function index to identify high risk subjects in non-diabetic Koreans.
-
Methods
- This is a retrospective longitudinal study. Total 140 non-diabetic subjects who underwent standard 2-hour 75 g oral glucose tolerance test from January 2007 to February 2007 at Kangbuk Samsung Hospital and followed up for more than 1 year were analyzed (mean follow-up, 54.9±16.4 months). The subjects were consist of subjects with normal glucose tolerance (n=44) and subjects with prediabetes (n=97) who were 20 years of age or older. Samples for insulin and C-peptide levels were obtained at 0 and 30 minutes at baseline.
-
Results
- Thirty subjects out of 140 subjects (21.4%) developed type 2 diabetes. When insulin-based index and C-peptide-based index are compared between progressor and non-progressor to diabetes, all C-peptide-based indices were statistically different between two groups, but only insulinogenic index and disposition index among insulin-based index were statistically different. C-peptide-based index had higher value of area under receiver operating characteristic curve (AROC) value than that of insulin-based index. "C-peptidogenic" index had highest AROC value among indices (AROC, 0.850; 95% confidence interval, 0.761 to 0.915). C-peptidogenic index had significantly higher AROC than insulinogenic index (0.850 vs. 0.731 respectively; P=0.014).
-
Conclusion
- C-peptide-based index was more closely related to incident type 2 diabetes in non-diabetic subjects than insulin-based index.
- The number of subjects with type 2 diabetes and prediabetes is increasing [1]. Current prevalence of prediabetes in Koreans aged over 30 years or older is 19.3% [2]. Up to 50% of prediabetes can progress into diabetes within 10 years [3].
- Patients with type 2 diabetes have higher mortality and morbidity compared to those without diabetes [4]. Once diabetes is diagnosed, β-cell function is usually declined [5]. So preventing diabetes is important. Even if it failed to prevent diabetes, delaying the onset of diabetes is also of value. As the development of microvascular complication is also dependent on duration of diabetes [6], delaying the onset of diabetes as late as possible is important to prevent microvascular complications.
- Accurate identification of high risk subjects is important, since diabetes can be prevented through life style intervention or medication [7]. Abdul-Ghani et al. [8] reported that oral disposition index calculated by using insulin during oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is the best predictor for future development of diabetes in non-diabetic subjects.
- Whereas considerable portion of insulin that is released into portal vein from pancreatic islets is cleared by liver at first pass transit, C-peptide that almost always is co-secreted with insulin at same molecules, is not cleared by liver [9]. So, we hypothesized that C-peptide-based index would be more accurately reflects β-cell function. The aim of this study is to compare insulin based index with C-peptide-based index for prediction of incident type 2 diabetes in Korean non-diabetic subjects.
INTRODUCTION
- Subjects
- The study population consisted of subjects who had undergone comprehensive health examinations and subsequently undergone OGTT at the Kangbuk Samsung Hospital. All subjects were 20 years of age or older. After health examination, subjects who had fasting glucose equal to or higher than 100 mg/dL were referred to outpatient clinic at Department of Endocrinology of Kangbuk Samsung Hospital. They have undergone standard 2-hour (2-h) 75 g OGTT from January 2007 to February 2007. Among them, total 140 subjects that were followed up for more than 1 year through outpatient clinics or annual health check-up at Kangbuk Samsung Hospital, so that we can identify progression to diabetes or not, were eligible for our analysis.
- At baselines, subjects in whom OGTT results were satisfied to diabetes criteria and subjects who had a history of diabetes or currently using insulin or oral anti-diabetic drugs based on self-report questionnaire, were excluded. Subjects who had malignancies, anemia, pregnancy, chronic kidney disease, or liver cirrhosis were also excluded. One hundred forty subjects included in this analysis were without diabetes at baseline (subjects with impaired fasting glucose, subjects with impaired glucose tolerance, and subjects with normal glucose tolerance). The study was approved by the Institutional Review Board at Kangbuk Samsung Hospital. Informed consent requirement was waived because personal identifying information was not accessed.
- Oral glucose tolerance test
- Participants underwent a 2-h 75 g OGTT following a 10-hour overnight fast. Subjects ingested a solution containing 75 g of dextrose, and venous blood samples were obtained at 0, 30, and 120 minutes for the determination of plasma glucose level. Samples for insulin and C-peptide were obtained at 0 and 30 minutes.
- Anthropometric and laboratory measurements
- Height, weight, and waist circumferences were measured. Body mass index (kg/m2) was calculated as body weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Blood pressures were measured using a sphygmomanometer (Vital Signs Monitor 300 series, Welch Allyn Inc., Skaneateles Falls, NY, USA) after at least 5 minutes of rest. Blood samples were collected following an overnight fast. Plasma glucose concentrations were determined using a Beckman glucose analyzer II (Beckman Instruments, Fullerton, CA, USA). The assay coefficient of variation (CV) for glucose was <1.5%. Serum insulin levels were measured using an immunoradiometric assay (DIA-source, Nivells, Belgium) following the manufacturer's recommendations. The intra-assay CV was 1.8% and the interassay CV was 6.3%. C-peptide was measured using a radioimmunoassay method with a commercial kit (DIAsource). The intra-assay CV was 6.5% and the interassay CV was 9.4%. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was measured using an immunoturbidimetric assay with a Cobra Integra 800 automatic analyzer (Roche Diagnostics, Basel, Switzerland) with a reference value range of 4.4% to 6.4%. HbA1c measurements were standardized to the reference method aligned with the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial and the National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program (NGSP) standards. The intra-assay CV was 2.3% and the interassay CV was 2.4%, both of which are within the NGSP acceptable range. Plasma lipids, including total cholesterol, triglyceride, high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), and low density lipoprotein cholesterol, were measured by enzymatic colorimetric assay (Siemens, Tarrytown, NY, USA). Serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) levels were measured by nephelometric assay using a BNII nephelometer (Dade Behring, Deerfield, IL, USA). Apolipoprotein B (apoB) and apoA-I levels were measured with the nephelometric method using a BNII system (Dade Behring Co., Marburg, Germany). Creatinine, alanine aminotransferase, γ-glutamyl transpeptidase, uric acid were measured by standard laboratory methods. All of the laboratory tests were undertaken at the same laboratory.
- Assessment for the development of diabetes
- The development of diabetes was assessed from the annual records of all participants or in each outpatient clinic visits. The development of diabetes was defined as fasting plasma glucose ≥126 mg/dL or HbA1c ≥6.5% or reporting to have developed diabetes in self-reported questionnaire at each visit. Subjects who had a history of diabetes or currently using insulin or oral anti-diabetic drugs based on annual check-up self-report questionnaire at each visit were considered to have diabetes. Progressor was defined as who developed incident type 2 diabetes.
- Variables and calculation
- (1) The homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) was calculated using the following formula [10]: HOMA-IR=(fasting insulin [µIU/mL]×fasting glucose [mmol/L])/22.5)
- (2) HOMA-IR by C-peptide was calculated using replacing insulin with C-peptide in HOMA-IR formula.
- (3) Insulinogenic index was calculated using the following formula [11]: insulinogenic index=(insulin30min-insulin0min)/(glucose30min-glucose0min).
- (4) C-peptidogenic index was calculated replacing insulin with C-peptide in insulinogenic index formula (we propose this term for formula that replace insulin with C-peptide in insulinogenic index formula).
- (5) Oral disposition index (by insulin) was calculated as ratio of insulinogenic index to HOMA-IR.
- (6) Oral disposition index based on C-peptide was calculated as ratio of C-peptidogenic index to HOMA-IR by C-peptide (we propose this term formula that replace insulin to C-peptide in oral disposition index formula).
- Statistical analysis
- Continuous variables are reported as mean±SD or median (95% confidence interval) if not normally distributed. Comparisons of continuous variables between groups were performed using unpaired t test or Mann-Whitney U test. Categorical data are expressed as number (percentages) and were compared using the chi-square test. Backward stepwise multivariate binary logistic regression analyses were performed in order to find the risk factors for future development of type 2 diabetes. To compare the ability for predicting incident type 2 diabetes, we used area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC), and then used the DeLong algorithm for determination of statistical significance [12]. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant. All statistical analyses were performed using IBM PASW version 18.0 (IBM, Armonk, NY, USA) except for ROC curve analysis, which was performed using MedCalc for Windows version 12.5 (MedCalc Software, Ostend, Belgium).
METHODS
- Total 140 subjects were followed-up for 54.9±16.4 months. During this period, 30 subjects (21.4%) developed type 2 diabetes. Subjects who progressed to type 2 diabetes were older, showed higher triglyceride, lower HDL-C, and higher hs-CRP (Table 1). In multivariate regression analysis, age, glucose, insulin, and C-peptide-based parameters are independent predictor of incident type 2 diabetes (data were not shown).
- When insulin-based index and C-peptide-based index were compared between progressor and non-progressor, while all C-peptide-based index were statistically different between two groups, only insulinogenic index and disposition index assessed by insulin were statistically different among insulin-based indexes (Table 2). In multivariate binary logistic regression analysis, C-peptidogenic index was independent predictor for incident type 2 diabetes even after adjusted for glucose parameters (HbA1c, OGTT 120 minutes glucose, and insulinogenic index) (Table 3). In ROC curve analysis, C-peptide-based index had higher value of area under ROC curve (AROC) than insulin based index. C-peptidogenic index had highest AROC value among parameters. C-peptidogenic index had significantly higher AROC than insulinogenic index (Table 4).
- While insulin resistance indices based on insulin had no significant difference between two groups, all indices assessing insulin secretion (both insulin and C-peptide-based indices) had significant differences between the two groups (Table 2). Also in ROC curve analysis, insulin resistance indices had lower AROC value than insulin secretion indices (Table 4).
RESULTS
- In this retrospective longitudinal study, insulin secretion defect was the major determinant for the progression to diabetes from prediabetes. C-peptidogenic index was more closely related to the progression to diabetes than insulinogenic index and other glucose parameters.
- There were some reports that C-peptide-based indices were better indices than insulin based indices for the evaluation of pathophysiology of diabetes. Fasting C-peptide multiplied by fasting glucose was better associated with insulin resistance measured as hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps than HOMA-IR [13]. Meier et al. [14] reported that C-peptide-based index was more closely correlated than insulin-based index with β-cell mass. Loopstra-Masters et al. [15] report that proinsulinto-C-peptide ratio were stronger predictor of diabetes in comparison with proinsulin-to-insulin ratios.
- There are some hypothesis why C-peptide-based index is more closely related to diabetes progression in prediabetes. First, C-peptide is may be better index because C-peptide doesn't undergo hepatic extraction, so C-peptide may more accurately reflect pre-hepatic β-cell secretion. Pre-hepatic β-cell insulin secretion can be estimated by plasma C-peptide level [1617]. Second, C-peptides have more steady clearance than insulin [16]. Insulin clearance is influenced by various factors. In insulin resistant state, activity of insulin degrading enzyme is increased. Hepatic extraction of insulin is also increased in insulin resistance state [18]. Third, C-peptide has lower within-subject and between-subject variation than insulin, so C-peptides were more reproducible for the determination of β-cell function [1920]. Fourth, recent research has revealed various action of C-peptide as a bioactive peptide. C-peptide can inhibit nuclear factor κB, reduce reactive oxygen species, and activate AMP-activated protein kinase [21222324]. C-peptide has the insulinomimetic effect and may also interact synergistically with insulin by disaggregating hexameric insulin into active monomeric form [925].
- There are some differences and common points of our study with other studies. In Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Study prospective cohort study for non-diabetic subjects, C-peptide-to-proinsulin ratio was more stronger predictor for diabetes progression than insulin-to-proinsulin ratio [15]. Our study showed different results to that study in that we used stimulated C-peptide rather than basal C-peptide. So we could evaluated β-cell secretion function more accurately. Utzschneider et al. [26] reported that oral disposition index based on insulin predicts the development of future diabetes above and beyond fasting and 2-h glucose levels in prospective cohort study for non-diabetic Japanese Americans, but this study did not measure C-peptide. In our study, C-peptidogenic index had more strong to predict future development of diabetes than insulinogenic index. Also in our study, C-peptidogenic index was more closely related to future development of diabetes than fasting and 2-h glucose. In Japanese non-diabetic cohort study [27], similarly in our study, insulin secretion had a greater impact on the incidence of type 2 diabetes than insulin resistance. But that study did not compare insulin secretion index to glucose parameter. We compared C-peptidogenic index to glucose parameters.
- This is first report that C-peptide-based insulin secretion index is better than insulin based insulin secretion index for predicting diabetes progression in prediabetes. C-peptidogenic index also had better value to traditional criteria for the diagnosis of prediabetes (0 minute glucose, 120 minutes glucose, and HbA1c) for the prediction of diabetes progression.
- Our study has several limitations. Our study is not prospective study and has relatively small sample size. Because we didn't measure 60 minutes glucose in OGTT, we could not compare C-peptidogenic index to 60 minutes glucose that previously reported as the best index for predicting diabetes. We did not have data for the family history of diabetes. So we could not adjust the data for it. In determining the progression to diabetes, we did not check post prandial 2-h glucose or OGTT, we were only dependent on fasting plasma glucose, HbA1c and the questionnaire; thus, we have limitation in that we did not clearly diagnose new diabetes case during follow-up.
- From this study, we could suggest that in Korean non-diabetic subjects, C-peptidogenic index was most strong predictor for future diabetes development. Validation of this finding is warranted in more large scale study, in other ethnic groups, and in prospective studies.
