Discrepancies between Glycosylated Hemoglobin and Fasting Plasma Glucose for Diagnosing Impaired Fasting Glucose and Diabetes Mellitus in Korean Youth and Young Adults.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) has been recommended as a diagnostic test for prediabetes and diabetes. Here, we evaluated the level of agreement between diagnoses based on fasting plasma glucose (FPG) versus HbA1c levels and determined optimal HbA1c cutoff values for these diseases in youth and young adults.

Methods

The study included 7,332 subjects (n=4,129, aged 10 to 19 years in youth group; and n=3,203 aged 20 to 29 years in young adult group) from the 2011 to 2016 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Prediabetes and diabetes were defined as 100 to 125 mg/dL (impaired fasting glucose [IFG]) and ≥126 mg/dL for FPG (diabetes mellitus [DM] by FPG [DM_FPG]), and 5.7% to 6.4% and ≥6.5% for HbA1c, respectively.

Results

In the youth group, 32.5% with IFG had an HbA1c level of 5.7% to 6.4%, and 72.2% with DM_FPG had an HbA1c ≥6.5%. In the young adult group, 27.5% with IFG had an HbA1c level of 5.7% to 6.4%, and 66.6% with DM_FPG had an HbA1c ≥6.5%. Kappa coefficients for agreement between the FPG and HbA1c results were 0.12 for the youth group and 0.19 for the young adult group. In receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, the optimal HbA1c cutoff for IFG and DM_FPG were 5.6% and 5.9% in youths and 5.5% and 5.8% in young adults, respectively.

Conclusion

Usefulness of HbA1c for diagnosis of IFG and DM_FPG in Koreans aged <30 years remains to be determined due to discrepancies between the results of glucose- and HbA1c-based tests. Additional testing might be warranted at lower HbA1c levels to detect IFG and DM_FPG in this age group.

Korean red ginseng improves glucose control in subjects with impaired fasting glucose, impaired glucose tolerance, or newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Project description:This study was designed to evaluate the effect of Korean red ginseng (KRG) supplementation on glucose control in subjects with impaired fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), or newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The study was a 12-week randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled (5?g of KRG [n=21] or placebo [n=20] in tablet form) trial. Glucose-related biomarkers, including serum and whole blood levels of glucose, insulin, and C-peptide, were measured by 2-h oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTTs) at baseline and after the 12-week intervention. After the intervention, the test group showed a significant decrease in serum levels of glucose at 30?min (-22.24±10.77?mg/dL) and whole blood levels of glucose at 30?min (-17.52±5.22?mg/dL). In addition, the test group tended to have lower whole blood levels of glucose at 0?min and glucose area under curve (AUC). However, the placebo group did not show any changes in blood glucose-related indices. The changes (difference from baseline) in serum glucose levels at 30?min, whole blood glucose levels at 60?min, and glucose AUC during OGTTs in the test group exhibited a tendency toward a decrease from those in the placebo group. There were significant decreases or trends toward a decrease in both serum insulin and C-peptide concentrations at most time intervals in the test group. In conclusion, KRG supplementation (5?g/day) may be beneficial for controlling serum and whole blood glucose levels compared with placebo among patients with IFG, IGT, or T2DM.

Genetic Variants Relate to Fasting Plasma Glucose, 2-Hour Postprandial Glucose, Glycosylated Hemoglobin, and BMI in Prediabetes.

Project description:Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease that seriously threatens human health. Prediabetes is a stage in the progression of DM. The level of clinical indicators including fasting plasma glucose (FPG), 2-h postprandial glucose (2hPG), and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1C) are the diagnostic markers of diabetes. In this genome-wide association study (GWAS), we aimed to investigate the association of genetic variants with these phenotypes in Hainan prediabetes. In this study, we recruited 451 prediabetes patients from the residents aged ≥18 years who participated in the National Diabetes Prevalence Survey of the Chinese Medical Association in 2017. The GWAS of FPG, 2hPG, HbA1C, and body mass index (BMI) in prediabetes was analyzed with a linear model using an additive genetic model with adjustment for age and sex. We identified that rs13052524 in MRPS6 and rs62212118 in SLC5A3 were associated with 2hPG in Hainan prediabetes (p = 4.35 × 10-6, p = 4.05 × 10-6, respectively). Another six variants in the four genes (LINC01648, MATN1, CRAT37, and SLCO3A1) were related to HbA1C. Moreover, rs11142842, rs1891298, rs1891299, and rs11142843 in TRPM3/TMEM2 and rs78432036 in MLYCD/OSGIN1 were correlated to BMI (all p < 5 × 10-6). This study is the first to determine the genome-wide association of FPG, 2hPG, and HbA1C, which emphasizes the importance of in-depth understanding of the phenotypes of high-value susceptibility gene markers in the diagnosis of prediabetes.

The simultaneous assessment of glycosylated hemoglobin, fasting plasma glucose and oral glucose tolerance test does not improve the detection of type 2 diabetes mellitus in Colombian adults.

Project description:IntroductionGuidelines recommend early detection of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2). The objective of the present study was to evaluate the capacity to identify DM2 in subjects that were screened for DM2 simultaneously with all three of the tests recommended-fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and a 2-hour post 75-g oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).Methods and resultsThe present analysis of an anonymous database of 1113 adults from a reference clinical laboratory in Bucaramanga, Colombia, was an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional secondary source study. 259 individuals met at least one of the criteria for DM2: FPG ≥ 126mg/dL (7.0mmol/L), HbA1c ≥ 6.5% (48mmol/mol) and OGTT ≥ 200mg/dL (11.1mmol/L). 30 subjects (2.7%) were diabetic according to FPG, 56 subjects (5.0%) by HbA1c and 250 subjects (22.5%) by OGTT. In total 259 subjects (23.3% [IC 95%: 20.7%- 25.8%] were diabetic either by FPG, OGTT or HbA1c.DiscussionThe largest number of patients were identified as diabetic with the OGTT. The combination of two or three tests did not increase the detection of new cases of DM2. Our findings suggest that routinely requesting FPG, OGTT and HbA1c at the same time may be inappropriate in at risk individuals, as this approach does not significantly improve the diagnostic capacity compared to using FPG+OGTT and substantially increases the financial burden on the health system, insurers or individual.

Combining glycosylated hemoglobin A1c and fasting plasma glucose for diagnosis of type 2 diabetes in Chinese adults.

Project description:BackgroundGlycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) has been applied to identify type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in the U.S. and European countries. It has not been used in China mainly due to lack of a standardized approach to measure HbA1c, short of knowledge about racial-specific standard and deficiency of an optimal cut-off point.MethodsTo evaluate combination of HbA1c and fasting plasma glucose (FPG) in diagnosing T2DM in Chinese adults, a multistage sampling cross-sectional study was conducted in Shanghai, China, in 2009. The FPG measurement, HbA1c assay, and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) were performed in 6,661 Chinese adults (3057 men, 3604 women) who had no prior history of diabetes to identify the unrecognized T2DM.ResultsA total of 454 participants were identified as T2DM based on the 1999 World Health Organization (WHO) diagnostic criteria. Of these patients, 239 were detected using an FPG ≥ 7.0 mmol/l and 141 were further identified using an HbA1c ≥ 43 mmol/mol (6.1%), achieving a sensitivity of 83.7% and a specificity of 89.3% for combining use of FPG and HbA1c. In subjects at high risk of diabetes, the combining use of FPG and HbA1c produced a higher sensitivity and an improved positive predictive value (PPV), and had a satisfactory specificity and negative predictive value (NPV).ConclusionsThe combining use of FPG and HbA1c is a potential screening and diagnosis approach for T2DM in Chinese adults, especially among those at high risk of the disease.

Comparison of Transcriptome Between Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and Impaired Fasting Glucose.

Project description:BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to compare the transcriptome between impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and further research their molecular mechanisms. MATERIAL AND METHODS The original microarray GSE21321, including miRNA and mRNA expression profiles, was downloaded from the GEO database. Data preprocessing was processed by limma package, and differentially expressed genes (DGs) and miRNA (DMs) were screened. Then, the regulatory relationships among miRNA, TF, and genes were screened and the regulatory network was constructed. Finally, DAVID was used for KEGG enrichment analysis. RESULTS There were 11 upregulated IFG-related DMs and five upregulated T2DM-related DMs. Three of the DMs overlapped. In addition, there were eight downregulated IFG-related DMs and two downregulated T2DM-related DMs. Only one downregulated DM overlapped. Similarly, there were 264 upregulated IFG-related DGs and 331 upregulated T2DM-related DGs; and 196 overlapping genes were obtained. In addition, there were 400 downregulated IFG-related DMs and 568 downregulated T2DM-related DMs. A total of 326 downregulated DMs were overlapped. The overlapped DGs were enriched in various pathways, including hematopoietic cell lineage, Fc gamma R-mediated phagocytosis, and MAPK signaling pathway. TAF1 (upregulated gene) and MAFK (downregulated gene) were hub nodes both in IFG- and T2DM-related miRNA-TF-gene regulatory network. In addition, miRNAs, including hsa-miR-29a, hsa-miR-192, and hsa-miR-144, were upregulated hub nodes in the two regulatory networks. CONCLUSIONS Genes including TAF1 and MAFK, and miRNAs including hsa-miR-29a, hsa-miR-192, and hsa-miR-144 might be potential target genes and important miRNAs for IFG and T2DM.

Impaired fasting glucose and risk of cardiovascular disease in Korean men and women: the Korean Heart Study.

Project description:ObjectiveThe relationship between impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) or ischemic heart disease (IHD) varies widely according to sex and ethnicity. We evaluated the relationship between IFG and CVD or IHD among Korean men and women.Research design and methodsA total of 408,022 individuals who underwent voluntary private health examinations in 17 centers in South Korea were followed for 10 years. Data regarding CVD or IHD events were obtained from the Korean National Health Insurance database. IFG was categorized as grade 1 (fasting glucose 100-109 mg/dL) or grade 2 (110-125 mg/dL).ResultsIncidence rates of CVD (per 100,000 person-years) were 2,203 for diabetes. Age-adjusted hazard ratios (HRs) for CVD were 1.17 (95% CI 1.13-1.20) for grade 1 IFG, 1.30 (1.24-1.35) for grade 2 IFG, and 1.81 (1.75-1.86) for diabetes. The increased risk for women was similar to that of men. Age-adjusted HRs for IHD and ischemic stroke were also significantly increased for men and women with IFG and diabetes. After multivariate adjustment of conventional risk factors (hypertension, dyslipidemia, smoking, obesity, and family history of CVD), the overall risk of CVD was greatly attenuated in all categories. However, the HRs for IHD and ischemic stroke remained significantly increased in men for grade 2 IFG but not in women.ConclusionsIn Korea, grade 2 IFG is associated with increased risk of IHD and ischemic stroke, independent of other conventional risk factors, in men but not in women.

Relationship Between Estimated Glycosylated Hemoglobin Using Flash Glucose Monitoring and Actual Measured Glycosylated Hemoglobin in a Chinese Population.

Project description:IntroductionThe aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between actual measured glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and estimated glycated hemoglobin (EA1c) in the flash glucose monitoring (FGM) system in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes.MethodsThis study was conducted in Nanjing First Hospital. Each patient used FGM twice in a 3-month period (during the first 14 days immediately after baseline and during a second 14-day period from days 76 to 90 after baseline). HbA1c measurements were made using a high-performance liquid chromatography assay before the start of the first FGM period (baseline) and at the end of the second FGM period.ResultsA total of 74 patients (35 men; mean age ± standard deviation [SD] 67.6 ± 5.2 years) were enrolled in the study. The mean (± SD) duration of diabetes was 11.9 ± 7.8 months. The first and second HbA1c measurements were both higher than the EA1c (both p < 0.001). Mean glucose (MG) gradually decreased over time and was the lowest on day 14. Linear regression showed that only HbA1c at baseline affected the gap between HbA1c and EA1c (β = 0.319, p = 0.01) when the educational level, age, gender, duration of diabetes, body mass index, HbA1c at baseline, and number of scans daily were included as independent variables. The best model for calculating EA1c was EA1c% = MG mmol/L × 0.669 - 0.213 × 8th MG + 3.351 when MG > 9.7 mmol/L, and EA1c % = (MG mmol/L + 2.590)/1.590 when MG ≤ 9.7 mmol/L. The correlation coefficient for EA1c and HbA1c in this model (model 7) is higher than that reported the original model in the FGM system 1 (0.955 vs. 0.822, respectively; p < 0.001).ConclusionsThe EA1c used by FreeStyle Libre™ is lower than the actual measured HbA1c. Improvement in the glucose levels during FGM in these patients may contribute to the lowering of EA1c.Trial registrationThe study is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov, number NCT03785301.

Is diabetes mellitus-linked amino acid signature associated with ?-blocker-induced impaired fasting glucose?

Project description:The 5-amino acid (AA) signature, including isoleucine, leucine, valine, tyrosine, and phenylalanine, has been associated with incident diabetes mellitus and insulin resistance. We investigated whether this same AA signature, single-nucleotide polymorphisms in genes in their catabolic pathway, was associated with development of impaired fasting glucose (IFG) after atenolol treatment.Among 234 European American participants enrolled in the Pharmacogenomic Evaluation of Antihypertensive Responses (PEAR) study and treated with atenolol for 9 weeks, we prospectively followed a nested cohort that had both metabolomics profiling and genotype data available for the development of IFG. We assessed the association between baseline circulating levels of isoleucine, leucine, valine, tyrosine, and phenylalanine, as well as single-nucleotide polymorphisms in branched-chain amino-acid transaminase 1 (BCAT1) and phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) with development of IFG. All baseline AA levels were strongly associated with IFG development. Each increment in standard deviation of the 5 AAs was associated with the following odds ratio and 95% confidence interval for IFG based on a fully adjusted model: isoleucine 2.29 (1.31-4.01), leucine 1.80 (1.10-2.96), valine 1.77 (1.07-2.92), tyrosine 2.13 (1.20-3.78), and phenylalanine 2.04 (1.16-3.59). The composite P value was 2×10(-5). Those with PAH (rs2245360) AA genotype had the highest incidence of IFG (P for trend=0.0003).Our data provide important insight into the metabolic and genetic mechanisms underlying atenolol-associated adverse metabolic effects.

High levels of fasting glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin values are associated with hyperfiltration in a Spanish prediabetes cohort. The PREDAPS Study.

Project description:AimThis study aimed to investigate whether different levels of fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in prediabetes are associated with hyperfiltration.MethodsA prospective cohort of 2,022 individuals aged 30-74 years took part in the PREDAPS Study. One cohort of 1,184 participants with prediabetes and another cohort of 838 participants with normal FPG and normal HbA1c were followed for 5 years. Hyperfiltration was defined as an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) above the age- and gender-specific 95th percentile for healthy control participants, while hypofiltration was defined as an eGFR below the 5th percentile. The prevalence of hyperfiltration was compared for different levels of prediabetes: level 1 of prediabetes: FPG <100 mg/dL plus HbA1c 5.7-6.0% or FPG 100-109 mg/dL plus HbA1c < 5.7%; level 2 of prediabetes: FPG <100 mg/dL plus HbA1c 6.1-6.4% or FPG 100-109 mg/dL plus HbA1c 5.7-6.0% or FPG 110-125 mg/dL plus HbA1c <5.7% and level 3 of prediabetes: FPG 100-109 mg/dL plus HbA1c 6.1-6.4% or FPG 110-125 mg/dL plus HbA1c 5.7-6.4%.ResultsThe participants with hyperfiltration were significantly younger, had a higher percentage of active smokers, and lower levels of hemoglobin and less use of ACEIs or ARBs. Only level 3 prediabetes based on FPG 100-109 mg/dL plus HbA1c 6.1-6.4% or FPG 110-125 mg/dL plus HbA1c 5.7-6.4% had a significantly higher odds ratio (OR) of hyperfiltration (OR 1.69 (1.05-2.74); P < 0.001) compared with no prediabetes (FPG < 100 mg/dL and HbA1c < 5.7%) after adjustment for different factors. The odds ratios for different levels of HbA1c alone in prediabetes increased progressively, but not significantly.ConclusionsLevel 3 of prediabetes based on FPG 100-109 mg/dL plus HbA1c 6.1-6.4% or FPG 110-125 mg/dL plus HbA1c 5.7-6.4% had a significantly higher OR of hyperfiltration compared with participants without prediabetes.

Circulating sphingolipids, fasting glucose, and impaired fasting glucose: The Strong Heart Family Study.

Project description:BackgroundAnimal studies suggest sphingolipids as an early marker of impaired glucose metabolism; however, research in humans is limited. We evaluated whether individual sphingolipid species were associated with fasting plasma glucose and incident impaired fasting glucose in a longitudinal cohort study.MethodsWe measured 15 sphingolipid species from blood samples collected in 2001-2003 from 2145 participants without prevalent diabetes in the Strong Heart Family Study. Fasting plasma glucose was measured in blood samples collected at baseline and follow-up (mean 5.5?years after baseline).FindingsThe average age of study participants was 38?years; 41% were men. Ceramide, sphingomyelin, and glucosylceramide species levels were higher in older participants; lactosyl-ceramide levels were higher in participants with lower BMIs. In adjusted analyses, greater concentrations of most ceramide species and lower lactosyl-ceramide with palmitic acid (LC-16) were associated with higher glucose levels at baseline. We did not observe associations of sphingomyelin species or glucosyl-ceramide species with glucose levels. Associations of sphingolipid levels with fasting glucose levels at follow-up were similar but had greater uncertainty than associations with baseline glucose. Although no statistically significant associations of sphingolipids with incident impaired fasting glucose were present, results were similar to glucose analyses.InterpretationWe identified several ceramide species associated with higher fasting glucose levels and one sphingolipid, LC-16, that was associated with lower fasting glucose levels. These findings compliment previous research, which linked these sphingolipids with fasting insulin levels, and suggest that higher levels of these ceramides and lower LC-16 may be an early marker of impaired glucose metabolism.
