PG - 734-8 LID - 10.3275/8934 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Short-term intensive insulin therapy (IIT) in patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has beneficial effects on insulin secretion. However, IIT effect on glucagon and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) secretion is unknown. AIM: We evaluated short-term intensive glycemic control effects on insulin, glucagon, and GLP-1 secretory dynamics in T2DM. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twenty-six patients with T2DM were hospitalized and treated with IIT for 10-14 days. A meal tolerance test was performed before and after IIT and the differences in serum immunoreactive insulin (IRI) and C-peptide immunoreactivity (CPR) as well as plasma glucagon and active GLP-1 levels were evaluated. RESULTS: Glycoalbumin levels decreased significantly from 23.0% before to 19.6% after IIT (p<0.001). However, pre- and post-IIT, IRI and CPR levels were not significantly different; post-IIT glucose levels were significantly decreased. The post-IIT glucagon levels at 0 and 60 min were lower than pre-IIT levels. Moreover, post- IIT area under the curve (AUC) of glucagon significantly reduced from 6755 +/- 996 pg/dl . 60 min to 5796 +/- 1074 pg/dl . 60 min (p<0.001). Furthermore, post-IIT GLP-1 levels and AUC were significantly higher than pre-IIT values. CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest that patients with T2DM who received shortterm IIT demonstrated decreased postprandial glucagon levels and increased GLP-1 levels following a meal tolerance test.
