  • SUPPLEMENTARY DATA APPENDIX 1. Limitations of Hba1c
    SUPPLEMENTARY DATA APPENDIX 1. Limitations of HbA1c What is the relationship between metabolic control and HbA1c? To date, overall glycemic control, as measured by HbA1c, remains the established predictor of diabetes outcomes in persons with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, affecting micro- and macro-vascular complications and mortality. The Diabetes Control and Complications Trial (DCCT), followed by the Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications (EDIC) study, demonstrated how elevated HbA1c contributes to complications in T1D (1). The United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) confirmed the importance of glycemic control as well as other components of metabolic control, namely blood pressure, on health outcomes in people with diabetes (2). These studies provided the empiric data that serve as the basis for HbA1c targets recommended by most global organizations. These societies, for the most part, recommend target HbA1c levels of <7% (53 mmol/mol) for adults and <7.5% (58 mmol/mol) for children, although several organizations suggest an HbA1c target of ≤6.5% for adults (AACE) (3) as well as youth (4). All groups suggest aiming for an HbA1c as close to normal as possible without severe hypoglycemia while at the same time indicating a need to individualize glycemic targets according to patient age, duration, co-morbidities, and expected life expectancy with ‘less strict’ HbA1c targets for those less healthy (5). Despite advanced treatment tools, including newer pharmacologic agents (with many classes of oral hypoglycemic agents for T2D), various injectables including long- and short-acting insulin analogs) and advanced technologies (such as insulin pens, insulin pumps, and advanced insulin dosing algorithms for use with pumps or injection regimens), a minority of persons with diabetes, globally, achieve recommended HbA1c levels (6).

Laurenti 1,2, Aleksey Matveyenko 1 and Adrian Vella 1,* 1 Division of Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN 55905, USA; [email protected] (M.C.L.); [email protected] (A.M.) 2 Biomedical Engineering and Physiology Graduate Program, Mayo Clinic Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, Rochester, MN 55905, USA * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-507-255-6515; Fax: +1-507-255-4828 Abstract: Pancreatic β-cells are responsible for the synthesis and exocytosis of insulin in response to an increase in circulating glucose. Insulin secretion occurs in a pulsatile manner, with oscillatory pulses superimposed on a basal secretion rate. Insulin pulses are a marker of β-cell health, and secretory parameters, such as pulse amplitude, time interval and frequency distribution, are impaired in obesity, aging and type 2 diabetes. In this review, we detail the mechanisms of insulin production and β-cell synchronization that regulate pulsatile insulin secretion, and we discuss the challenges to consider when measuring fast oscillatory secretion in vivo. These include the anatomical difficulties of measuring portal vein insulin noninvasively in humans before the hormone is extracted by the liver and quickly removed from the circulation. Peripheral concentrations of insulin or C-peptide, a peptide cosecreted with insulin, can be used to estimate their secretion profile, but mathematical deconvolution is required. Parametric and nonparametric approaches to the deconvolution problem are evaluated, alongside the assumptions and trade-offs required for their application in the quantifi- Citation: Laurenti, M.C.; cation of unknown insulin secretory rates from known peripheral concentrations.

Design and methods: The study included 26 obese, 11 NIDDM and 10 control subjects. The obese group was divided into a low insulin (plasma insulin <20 mU/l, OLI, 14 subjects) and a high insulin (OHI, 12 subjects) group. For pulsatility analysis blood was sampled every 2 min for 90 min. Pulsatility analysis was carried out using the PulsDetekt program. The insulin secretion randomness was quantified using interpulse interval deviation (IpID) and approximate entropy (ApEn). ApEn and ApEn normalized by S.D. of the individual insulin time series (nApEn) were calculated. Lower values of ApEn and IpID indicate more regular secretion. Homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) was used to quantify insulin sensitivity. Results: Insulin pulses were significantly less regular in the OHI and the NIDDM groups compared with the control and the OLI groups (control: ApEn 0.54 6 0.16, nApEn 0.69 6 0.19, IpID 2.53 6 0.99; OLI: ApEn 0.64 6 0.12, nApEn 0.79 6 0.15, IpID 2.92 6 1.09; OHI: ApEn 0.88 6 0.07, nApEn 0.92 6 0.07, IpID 3.95 6 0.84; NIDDM: ApEn 0.92 6 0.16, nApEn 0.99 6 0.09, IpID 4.41 6 0.53; means 6 S.D.).

  • Signaling Underlying Pulsatile Insulin Secretion

The characte- ristic insulin pattern is deteriorated in patients with type 2 diabetes [49] as well as in their close relatives [6 11. Studies in non-diabetic subjects with suppressed endo- genous insulin secretion and diabetic patients have indicated that less insulin is required to maintain normoglycaemia if the hormone is infused in a pulsatile man- ner compared to a constant rate [12, 57, 59, 63, 641. This difference is probably explained by higher expression of insulin receptors, when insulin is delivered in pulses [27]. It is easy to envision a scenario for the development of type 2 diabetes in which deteriorated oscillations leads to insulin resistance with a compensating hypersecretion of the hormone. In susceptible individuals the increased insulin demand may eventually exhaust the pancreatic p-cells with resulting development of overt diabetes. What is then the origin of the regular insulin oscillations? One possibility is that they result from a negative feedback loop between the liver and the pancreatic p- cell [50]. However, later studies have indicated that the oscillations occur indepen- dent of changes in plasma glucose, reflecting a pacemaker function in the pancreas [49, 581.

Pulsatile intravenous insulin therapy (PIVIT) is a Registry (http://www.chictr.org.cn) on November 13th 2019 means of imitating naturally occurring insulin pulses arti- (registration no. ChiCTR1900027510). ficially. It is thought to improve carbohydrate metabolism, which can be assessed using the respiratory quotient (RQ). Introduction The aim of this present study was to assess the efficacy and safety of PIVIT for the improvement of RQ in Chinese patients Insulin secretion occurs in a pulsatile manner into the circula- with diabetes mellitus (DM). This 12‑week, multi‑center, tion of humans and animals, with fast pulses occurring every prospective, randomized, open‑label, parallel‑group study 5‑15 min (1,2). Insulin is secreted into the portal vein and involved 110 DM patients (both type 1 and type 2) whose RQ undergoes partial (40‑80%) hepatic extraction, before being was <0.8. Of these, 53 patients formed the control group, in diluted into the systemic insulin pool. Peripheral insulin which standard anti‑diabetic therapy was maintained, and concentrations oscillate because of the pulsatility of insulin 54 patients formed the treatment group, which underwent secretions (3).
