Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIM: To examine if insulin resistance is associated with markers of glycemic, cardiometabolic and atherosclerotic risk in non-obese, non-prediabetic individuals compared to insulin sensitive subjects matched for BMI, gender, and age.
METHODS: Of 1860 patients from STOP DIABETES study, 624 had normal fasting plasma glucose, body mass index < 30, and HbA1c < 5.7%. All received oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Insulin sensitivity was quantitated using Matsuda index:
RESULTS: Compared to matched insulin sensitive patients, insulin resistant non-obese subjects demonstrated increased indicators of glycemic and cardiometabolic risk including: increased 60-minute plasma glucose and percentage of patients with 60-minute plasma glucose > 155mg/dL; increased 120-minute plasma glucose; unrecognized impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and type 2 diabetes (T2D), decreased disposition index; increased systolic and diastolic blood pressure; elevated plasma triglycerides; reduced HDL cholesterol; increased triglyceride/HDL ratio and hs-CRP. The presence, size, and number of carotid plaques was greater in the insulin resistant group.
CONCLUSION: Approximately 1 in 4 non-obese patients in this population with normal fasting glucose and HbA1c were insulin resistant. In these non-obese subjects, insulin resistance was associated with multiple indicators of dysglycemia and cardiometabolic risk.
