What is prediabetes ? Transitory state to Diabetes 86 million people (1 in 3 adults) in USA Higher risk of developing diabetes Higher risk for developing macrovascular complications Edelstein SL et al.

Potential Role of Insulin Pulsatility Partial pancreatectomy (50 %) in dogs caused a approximately 40% decrease in insulin-stimulated glucose disposal Physiological insulin pulses delivered into the portal vein enhance insulin action in dogs. Does insulin pulsatility change in prediabetes? Matveyenko et al. Diabetes. 2006 Aug;55(8):2347-56 Matveyenko et al. Diabetes 2012 Sep; 61(9): 2269-2279
Specific Aim To determine if insulin pulse amplitude and frequency differ in humans with Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT) or Normal Glucose Tolerance (NGT).
Hypothesis 1º Hypothesis: Insulin pulse amplitude is decreased in people with IGT compared to those with NGT 2º Hypothesis: Insulin pulse interval is increased in people with IGT compared to those with NGT
Study Design - Recruitment Mayo Clinic Biobank n = ~ 50,000 Genotyping of a random sample at rs7903146 CC TT NGT IGT

Summary Insulin pulse amplitude and interval do not differ in IGT and NGT. Insulin pulse mass does not differ between the two groups. IGT is associated with impaired basal insulin secretion in response to hyperglycemia. Net insulin secretion is unchanged because of a compensatory increase in mean pulse mass.
Conclusions Insulin pulse interval or amplitude is not altered by glucose tolerance status in non-diabetic subjects. The net contribution of basal (non-pulsatile) secretion to total insulin secretion in response to hyperglycemia is impaired in these subjects with IGT.
