    Notes: Abstract Aims/hypothesis. To evaluate insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion in prediabetic and diabetic subjects with mutations in MODY1 (HNF-4α) and MODY3 (HNF-1α) genes, in subjects with GAD antibodies, latent autoimmune diabetes in adults and in subjects with the common form of Type II (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus. Methods. Insulin secretion was measured as the incremental 30-min insulin (I30) and insulin glucose ratio (I:G30) during OGTT whereas insulin sensitivity was measured as the insulin sensitivity index during OGTT in 131 carriers of MODY mutations [NGT = 38, IFG/IGT = 21, diabetes mellitus (DM) = 72], in 293 subjects with GADA (NGT = 47, IFG/IGT = 29, DM = 217) and in 2961 subjects with a family history of the common form of Type II diabetes but without MODY mutations or GADA (NGT = 1360, IFG/IGT = 857, DM = 744). A subgroup of the subjects underwent a euglycaemic clamp (n = 210) and intravenous glucose tolerance test (n = 337) for the estimation of insulin sensitivity and first-phase insulin secretion. Results. Non-diabetic subjects with MODY mutations had pronounced impaired insulin secretion (I30, I:G30) compared with the two other groups (p = 0.005). Normal or non-diabetic glucose tolerance was maintained by enhanced insulin sensitivity compared with the other two groups (p 〈 0.05 and p 〈 0.005). In contrast to patients with Type II diabetes and with adult latent autoimmune diabetes, MODY patients showed only a modest deterioration in insulin sensitivity at onset of diabetes. The 2-h glucose values inversely correlated with insulin sensitivity in subjects with GADA (r = –0.447, p 〈 0.001) and subjects from Type II diabetic families (r = –0.426, p 〈 0.001), whereas no such relation was observed in subjects with MODY mutations (r = 0.151, p = NS). There were no statistically significant differences in insulin secretion or insulin sensitivity between subjects with GADA or subjects with a family history of Type II diabetes, either at the NGT or the IFG/IGT stage. Conclusion/interpretation. Glucose-tolerant carriers of MODY mutations are characterised by a severe impairment in insulin secretion. Enhanced insulin sensitivity is the most likely explanation for the normal glucose tolerance. Whereas subjects with positive GADA or Type II diabetes have impaired insulin sensitivity with increasing glucose concentrations, MODY mutation carriers seem to be protected from the effect of glucose toxicity.

    Notes: Summary The effects of combined insulin and sulfonylurea therapy on glycaemic control and B-cell function was studied in 15 Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetic patients who had failed on treatment with oral hypoglycaemic agents. The patients were first treated with insulin alone for four months. Five patients were given two daily insulin doses and ten patients one dose. During insulin treatment the fasting plasma glucose fell from 14.5±0.8 to 8.8±0.4 mmol/l and the HbA1 concentration from 12.6±0.4 to 9.2±0.2%. This improvement of glycaemic control was associated with a suppression of basal (from 0.31±0.04 to 0.10±0.02 nmol/l) and glucagon-stimulated (from 0.50±0.08 to 0.19±0.04 nmol/l) C-peptide concentrations. Four months after starting insulin therapy the patients were randomised to a four-month double-blind cross-over treatment with insulin combined with either 15 mg glibenclamide per day or with placebo. Addition of glibenclamide to insulin resulted in a further reduction of the fasting plasma glucose (7.9±0.5 mmol/l) and HbA1 (8.3±0.2%) concentration whereas the basal (0.21±0.03 nmol/l) and glucagon-stimulated C-peptide concentrations (0.34±0.06 nmol/l) increased again. Addition of placebo to insulin had no effect. The daily insulin dose could be reduced by 25% after addition of glibenclamide to insulin, while it remained unchanged when insulin was combined with placebo. The fasting free insulin concentration did not differ between the glibenclamide and placebo periods (28±6 vs 30±5 mmol/l). The fasting free insulin concentration correlated, however, positively with the insulin dose (r=0.76, p〈0.01) indicating that the insulin dose was the main determinant of the free insulin concentration. In contrast, the basal C-peptide concentration was higher during the insulin plus glibenclamide than during the insulin plus placebo period (0.21±0.03 vs 0.16±0.03 nmol/l; p〈0.05). Addition of glibenclamide to insulin therapy increased the treatment cost by 30–50%, was associated with increased frequency of mild hypoglycaemic reactions and with a slight, but significant fall in HDL cholesterol concentration (from 1.40±0.07 to 1.29±0.06; p〈0.05) compared with insulin plus placebo. We conclude that in Type 2 diabetic patients, who have failed on treatment with oral hypoglycaemic agents, the combination of insulin and glibenclamide resulted in slightly improved glycaemic control and allowed reduction of the insulin dose. The price for this improvement was higher treatment costs, more (mild) hypoglycaemic reactions and a marginal fall in the HDL cholesterol concentration. Whether the same effect could have been achieved with divided insulin doses in all patients is not known.

    Notes: Abstract Aims/hypothesis. To investigate the contribution of mutations in maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) and mitochondrial genes to early-onset diabetes with a strong family history of diabetes in a cohort with a high prevalence of Type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus. Methods. Screening for sequence variants in the hepatocyte nuclear factor (HNF)–4 α (MODY1), glucokinase (MODY2), HNF-1 α (MODY3) genes and mitochondrial DNA was carried out in 115 Finnish and Swedish patients with early-onset ( ≤ 40 years) diabetes using the single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) technique and direct sequencing. Allele frequencies were compared with 118 patients with onset of diabetes Type II (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus after the age of 40 and 92 non–diabetic control subjects without a family history of diabetes. Results. In total 52 sequence variants were found in the HNF-1α, HNF-4α and glucokinase genes, 12 of which were considered as MODY mutations. Three families had the A3243G mutation in the mitochondrial tRNA Leu gene, which resulted in an overall prevalence of these mutations of 13 %. Conclusion/interpretation. Among 115 Scandinavian families, mutations in the HNF-1α gene represented the most common cause of familial early-onset ( ≤ 40 years) diabetes: MODY3 (5.2 %) more than MODY2 (3.5 %) more than MIDD (2.6 %) more than MODY1 (1.7 %).

    Notes: Summary Fifteen Type 2 diabetics were treated for 4-week periods with once daily (10 mg) glibenclamide, glipizide and placebo according to a double-blind cross-over protocol. Post-dose glipizide concentrations were three times higher than those of glibenclamide, due to the incomplete bioavailability of the latter. On the other hand, pre-dose drug levels were similar, as an expression of the slower absorption and/or elimination of glibenclamide. Both active treatments reduced postprandial blood glucose concentrations and 24-hour urinary glucose excretion to a similar degree, but fasting blood glucose concentrations were slightly lower during glibenclamide treatment. Both active treatments enhanced fasting and postprandial insulin and C-peptide concentrations, the C-peptide response being greater after glipizide than after glibenclamide. Plasma glucagon and GIP concentrations were not significantly affected. Insulin sensitivity was increased by glibenclamide but not by glipizide. Neither therapy affected insulin binding to erythrocytes. It appears that both glibenclamide and glipizide improved glucose metabolism by sustained stimulation of insulin secretion, which was most pronounced with glipizide. Only glibenclamide improved insulin sensitivity and was slightly more active than glipizide on fasting blood glucose levels. The differences may be consequences of the pharmacokinetics, but differences in pharmacodynamics cannot be excluded.
