Genetically- Based Exacerbated by Environmental issues- Diet, Activity, Biome Includes Brain-Directed, Peripheral Insulin Resistance Loss of Dopa- Surge in SCN New β-Cell Centric Construct: Implications Insulin Resistance Exposes and Exacerbates the Core β-Cell Defect IR Impairs β-Cell Function by: Lipo and gluco-toxicity Inflammatory Mechanisms Adipocytokine effect on β-cell IR is NOT a Core Defect (as only ~1/3 of IR patients have Diabetes) (but CLEARLY, IR is a focus of therapy in patients with vulnerable β-cells)

New β-Cell Centric Construct: Implications Environmental Risk Factors in T1D/T2D, ? ‘LADA’ T1D Seasonality at diagnosis Migrants assume risk of host country Risk factors from case-control studies Hormones Vitamin D Stress Cow’s Milk Improved Hygiene Gut-microbial Balance – Biome Infant/childhood diet Lack of Physical Activity Viruses – exposures as early as in utero T2D Obesity-Diet Lack of Physical Activity AGE ingestion LADA Coffee More Educated
Going Forward: New Focus of Care: Primary Prevention: ? For All DM in New Classification Genetic / antibody screening 1 effort to identify eligible subjects Potential Immune Modulators 2 Environmental Modulation 3 – Especially as we learn more- vaccination, endocrine disruptors, diet, exercise Intervention needs to be extremely safe Defining risk factors will facilitate primary prevention studies Atkinson, Eisenbarth,THE LANCET Vol 358 July 21, APPLY MODEL TO ALL DM 2 3 1
Genes Family History Genotype- HLA, TCF7L2, etc β-Cell FBS, 2hr ppg, HgA1c, ? C-peptide, ?other Inflammation Antibodies, Inflammatory Markers, T-Cell function, ?other Insulin Resistance BMI, Adiponectin, Adipocytokines, ? Other Abilities to get what/which above data will be cost-dependent- each patient, insurers, formulary, government New β-Cell Centric Construct: Implications Diagnosis Markers By Virtue of Family History ‘DM”, Physiogomy, hyperglycemia in Prediabetic and diabetic range
Current Terminology Should Reflect the β-Cell Centric Approach; or,…we need to Develop a New Terminology T2DMODY, monogenic T1DSPIDDMAutoimmune T2D Genes - mono+,which - poly+,which Inflammation+/- ─ +++ Resistance+/- ─ Environment+,which ‘LADA’ Older Implications for Therapy Younger
