Reproducibility of glucose and insulin responses to mixed meal in type II diabetic patients.

OBJECTIVE: The reproducibility of glucose and insulin responses to a mixed meal were studied in 24 consecutive non-insulin-dependent (type II) diabetic patients, the diet of which matched the tested diet. Patients received their usual treatment throughout the study. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A standardized diet was followed for 3 days, and responses were measured on the 2nd and 3rd days. Glucose and insulin responses were studied after lunches with the 180-min positive area under the curve, and were analyzed with paired t test and Pearson's linear regression. RESULTS: Glucose responses did not vary (217 +/- 50 vs. 217 +/- 38 min x mM, NS) and were significantly correlated (r = 0.64, P less than 0.01). Insulin responses did not vary (35,224 +/- 5768 vs. 35,305 +/- 7779 min x pM, NS) and were strongly correlated (r = 0.83, P less than 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that glucose and insulin responses to a test meal are reproducible in type II diabetic patients.

[Study of blood glucose regulation in 103 cases of adult acquired hypothyroïdism (author's transl)].

Systematic studies of blood glucose regulation have been performed in 103 cases of adult acquired hypothyroïdism. The results were the following: 11 cases of overt diabetes were discovered. The diagnostic was made when fasting blood glucose was superior to 120 mg/100 ml and glucosuria was present. 22 cases of asymptomatic (chemical) diabetes. The diagnosis was based on the abnormalities of the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). The criteria were those of Fajans and Conn. In 70 cases the results were normal. The comparison of these results with these obtained in a matched population of normal subjects did not show significative differences. Particularly the proportion of "flat curves" during the OGTT were not higher in cases of hypothyroïdism. Plasma insulin levels were determined in 20 cases of hypothyroïdism during OGTT. The results were the same as in non-hypothyroïd subjects. The abnormalities of glucose regulation observed in hypothyroïdism were not related to sex, age, overweight or cause of the disease. The number of diabetic patients is not significatively more important in cases of hypothyroïdism of immunological origin (especially Hashimoto's disease.
