Glycemic variability in continuous glucose monitoring is inversely associated with baroreflex sensitivity in type 2 diabetes: a preliminary report.

ABSTRACT:

Background

It is presently unclear whether glycemic variability (GV) is associated with baroreflex sensitivity (BRS), which is an early indicator of cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy. The present study is the first to examine the relationships between BRS and GV measured using continuous glucose monitoring (CGM).

Methods

This was a multicenter, prospective, open-label clinical trial. A total of 102 patients with type 2 diabetes were consecutively recruited for this study. GV was assessed by measuring the standard deviation (SD), glucose coefficient of variation (CV), and the mean amplitude of glycemic excursions (MAGE) during CGM. The BRS was analyzed from electrocardiogram and blood pressure recordings using the sequence method on the first day of hospitalization.

Results

A total of 94 patients (mean diabetes duration 9.7?±?9.6 years, mean HbA1c 61.0?±?16.8 mmol/mol [7.7?±?1.5%]) were analyzed. In the univariate analysis, CGM-SD (r?=?-?0.375, p?=?0.000), CGM-CV (r?=?-?0.386, p?=?0.000), and MAGE (r?=?-?0.395, p?=?0.000) were inversely related to BRS. In addition to GV, the level of BRS correlated with the coefficient of variation in the R-R intervals (CVR-R) (r?=?0.520, p?=?0.000), heart rate (HR) (r?=?-?0.310, p?=?0.002), cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) (r?=?-?0.326, p?=?0.001), age (r?=?-?0.519, p?=?0.000), and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (r?=?0.276, p?=?0.007). Multiple regression analysis showed that CGM-CV and MAGE were significantly related to a decrease in BRS. These findings remained after adjusting the BRS for age, sex, hypertension, dyslipidemia, HR, eGFR, CAVI, and CGM-mean glucose. Additionally, BRS was divided according to quartiles of the duration of diabetes (Q1-4). BRS decreased after a 2-year duration of diabetes independently of age and sex.

Conclusions

GV was inversely related to BRS independently of blood glucose levels in type 2 diabetic patients. Measurement of BRS may have the potential to predict CV events in consideration of GV. Trial registration UMIN Clinical Trials Registry UMIN000025964, 28/02/2017.

Project description:BackgroundHbA1c variability is independent of mean HbA1c, and associated with mortality due to vascular complications. However, the significance of HbA1c variability is unknown at present. In this study, we used flash glucose monitoring (FGM) and evaluated glycemic intraday variations, and then examined the association with HbA1c variability.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective pilot study of 26 patients treated at the Outpatient department for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and evaluated the following items associated with blood glucose levels and their changes/variations using FGM. The primary endpoint was factor(s) associated with standard deviation (SD) HbA1c over a 6-month period. To adjust for the effect of varying numbers of HbA1c measurements, we used the adjusted SD of HbA1c.ResultsThere were significant correlations between mean HbA1c and each of glucose management indicator, maximum, percent time at glucose > 180 mg/day, mean of daily difference of blood glucose, and high blood glucose index. Adjusted SD HbA1c correlated significantly with percent time at glucose < 70 mg/dL and low blood glucose index. We estimated the regression coefficient of adjusted SD HbA1c using multivariate linear regression analysis, and noted that the presence of hypoglycemia affected Adjusted SD HbA1c (β = 0.130, SE = 0.044, P = 0.008). Hypoglycemia was noted in 17 patients, and adjusted SD HbA1c was significantly higher (p = 0.001) in the hypoglycemic group (0.22 ± 0.12%), compared with the non-hypoglycemic group (0.08 ± 0.05%). The cut-off value of adjusted SD HbA1c was 0.109% in the hypoglycemic group.ConclusionsThe results showed that HbA1c variability is associated with hypoglycemia. For patients with high HbA1c variability, we recommend evaluation for the presence of hypoglycemia and reconsideration of their treatment regimen including their glucose-lowering medications. Trial registration The study protocol and opt-out method of informed consent were approved by the ethics committees of the University of Occupational and Environmental Health (Trial registration: H27-186, Registered 25 Dec 2015).
