Abstract:Objective To investigate pancreatic islet function in the first-degree relatives of type 2 diabetic patients with impaired glucose regulation. Methods 100 patients with impaired glucose regulation(IGR) in first-degree relatives of type 2 diabetic patients were selected. According to the results of OGTT test, they were divided into i-IFG group, i-IGT group, IFG & IGT group and only 30 or 60 min of hyperglycemia group. G0, G30, G60, G120, I0, I30, I60, I120 were tested. The steady state model were evaluated to assess insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR), islet cell secretion index (HOMA-B), ratio of insulin peak to fasting value(Imax/I0), and early phase insulin secretion index(ΔI30/ΔG30). Results (1)HOMA-IR was the highest in the IFG & IGT group, which was significantly different from that in the i-IGT group (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between the other groups(P>0.05). (2)HOMA-B was the highest in 30 or 60 minutes of hyperglycemia group, followed by i-IGT group and lowest in i-IFG group. (3)ΔI30/ΔG30 is the highest in i-IFG group, but there was no significant difference among the groups(P>0.05). (4)Imax/I0 is the highest in 30 or 60 min of hyperglycemia group was the highest, followed by i-IGT group, i-IFG group was the lowest. After controlling for age, there was a significant positive correlation between BMI and HOMA-IR(r=0.303,P=0.003). Conclusion The difference between i-IFG group and i-IGT group indicates that there is heterogeneity in these two groups . BMI can be used as a convenient index for evaluating insulin resistance.
