Background and aims: Presence and frequency of beta cell (BC) dysfunction(BCD) and insulin resistance (IR) in patients with newly diagnosedtype 2 diabetes mellitus (NDT2D) are imperfectly known, becauseprevious studies used small cohorts and/or only surrogate indexes of BCfunction and IR.We sought to assess BC function and IR with state-of-artmethods in the VNDS.Materials and methods: In 712 GADA-negative, drug naïve, consecutiveItalian NDT2D patients we assessed: 1. standard parameters; 2. insulinsensitivity (IS) by the euglycaemic insulin clamp); 3. BC functionby state-of-art modeling of prolonged (5 hours) OGTT-derived glucose/C-peptide curves. Thresholds for BCD and IR were the 25th percentilesof BC function and IS assessed with the same methods of the VNDS inItalian subjects with normal glucose regulation of the GENFIEV (n=340)and GISIR (n=386) studies, respectively.Results: In the VNDS, 89.8% [95% C.I.: 87.6 - 92.0%] and87.8% [85.4 - 90.2] patients had BCD and IR, respectively.

Abstract

Background and aims: Presence and frequency of beta cell (BC) dysfunction(BCD) and insulin resistance (IR) in patients with newly diagnosedtype 2 diabetes mellitus (NDT2D) are imperfectly known, becauseprevious studies used small cohorts and/or only surrogate indexes of BCfunction and IR.We sought to assess BC function and IR with state-of-artmethods in the VNDS.Materials and methods: In 712 GADA-negative, drug naïve, consecutiveItalian NDT2D patients we assessed: 1. standard parameters; 2. insulinsensitivity (IS) by the euglycaemic insulin clamp); 3. BC functionby state-of-art modeling of prolonged (5 hours) OGTT-derived glucose/C-peptide curves. Thresholds for BCD and IR were the 25th percentilesof BC function and IS assessed with the same methods of the VNDS inItalian subjects with normal glucose regulation of the GENFIEV (n=340)and GISIR (n=386) studies, respectively.Results: In the VNDS, 89.8% [95% C.I.: 87.6 - 92.0%] and87.8% [85.4 - 90.2] patients had BCD and IR, respectively. Patientswith only one defect were 19.7% [16.8 - 22.6]. IsolatedBCD and isolated IR were present in 10.9% [8.6 - 13.2] and8.9% [6.8 - 11.0] patients, respectively.
