Postprandial and fasting hepatic glucose fluxes in long-standing type 1 diabetes.

ABSTRACT: Intravenous insulin infusion partly improves liver glucose fluxes in type 1 diabetes (T1D). This study tests the hypothesis that continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII) normalizes hepatic glycogen metabolism.T1D with poor glycemic control (T1Dp; HbA(1c): 8.5 ± 0.4%), T1D with improved glycemic control on CSII (T1Di; 7.0 ± 0.3%), and healthy humans (control subjects [CON]; 5.2 ± 0.4%) were studied. Net hepatic glycogen synthesis and glycogenolysis were measured with in vivo (13)C magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Endogenous glucose production (EGP) and gluconeogenesis (GNG) were assessed with [6,6-(2)H(2)]glucose, glycogen phosphorylase (GP) flux, and gluconeogenic fluxes with (2)H(2)O/paracetamol.When compared with CON, net glycogen synthesis was 70% lower in T1Dp (P = 0.038) but not different in T1Di. During fasting, T1Dp had 25 and 42% higher EGP than T1Di (P = 0.004) and CON (P < 0.001; T1Di vs. CON: P = NS). GNG was 74 and 67% higher in T1Dp than in T1Di (P = 0.002) and CON (P = 0.001). In T1Dp, GP flux (7.0 ± 1.6 ?mol ? kg(-1) ? min(-1)) was twofold higher than net glycogenolysis, but comparable in T1Di and CON (3.7 ± 0.8 and 4.9 ± 1.0 ?mol ? kg(-1) ? min(-1)). Thus T1Dp exhibited glycogen cycling (3.5 ± 2.0 ?mol ? kg(-1) ? min(-1)), which accounted for 47% of GP flux.Poorly controlled T1D not only exhibits augmented fasting gluconeogenesis but also increased glycogen cycling. Intensified subcutaneous insulin treatment restores these abnormalities, indicating that hepatic glucose metabolism is not irreversibly altered even in long-standing T1D.

Project description:Type 1 diabetes (T1DM) is associated with an increased fracture risk, specifically at nonvertebral sites. The influence of glycemic control and microvascular disease on skeletal health in long-standing T1DM remains largely unknown. We aimed to assess areal (aBMD) and volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD), bone microarchitecture, bone turnover, and estimated bone strength in patients with long-standing T1DM, defined as disease duration ≥25 years. We recruited 59 patients with T1DM (disease duration 37.7 ± 9.0 years; age 59.9 ± 9.9 years.; body mass index [BMI] 25.5 ± 3.7 kg/m2 ; 5-year median glycated hemoglobin [HbA1c] 7.1% [IQR 6.82-7.40]) and 77 nondiabetic controls. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HRpQCT) at the ultradistal radius and tibia, and biochemical markers of bone turnover were assessed. Group comparisons were performed after adjustment for age, gender, and BMI. Patients with T1DM had lower aBMD at the hip (p < 0.001), distal radius (p = 0.01), lumbar spine (p = 0.04), and femoral neck (p = 0.05) as compared to controls. Cross-linked C-telopeptide (CTX), a marker of bone resorption, was significantly lower in T1DM (p = 0.005). At the distal radius there were no significant differences in vBMD and bone microarchitecture between both groups. In contrast, patients with T1DM had lower cortical thickness (estimate [95% confidence interval]: -0.14 [-0.24, -0.05], p < 0.01) and lower cortical vBMD (-28.66 [-54.38, -2.93], p = 0.03) at the ultradistal tibia. Bone strength and bone stiffness at the tibia, determined by homogenized finite element modeling, were significantly reduced in T1DM compared to controls. Both the altered cortical microarchitecture and decreased bone strength and stiffness were dependent on the presence of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. In addition to a reduced aBMD and decreased bone resorption, long-standing, well-controlled T1DM is associated with a cortical bone deficit at the ultradistal tibia with reduced bone strength and stiffness. Diabetic neuropathy was found to be a determinant of cortical bone structure and bone strength at the tibia, potentially contributing to the increased nonvertebral fracture risk. © 2022 The Authors.
