PG - 1384-91 LID - 10.2337/dc13-1392 [doi] AB - OBJECTIVE: Endogenous insulin secretion, measured by C-peptide area under the curve (AUC), can be tested using both the glucagon stimulation test (GST) and the mixed-meal tolerance test (MMTT). This study compares these two stimulation methods using long-term data from patients newly diagnosed with type 1 diabetes or with latent autoimmune diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A recently completed phase 3 intervention study with DiaPep277 demonstrated improved glycemic control and a significant treatment effect of glucagon-stimulated C-peptide secretion. Unexpectedly, MMTT failed to detect differences between the treated and control groups. Data from 343 patients in two balanced-randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group trials of DiaPep277 were used to compare and correlate between GST- and MMTT-derived C-peptide AUC. Pearson's correlations were calculated for absolute C-peptide AUC at baseline and 12 and 24 months and for long-term changes in AUC (AUC). RESULTS: The absolute AUC values obtained at any single time point by the two tests were well correlated in both data sets (r = 0.74-0.9). However, the correlations between the AUC were much weaker (r = 0.39-0.58). GST-stimulated C-peptide secretion was stable over the fasting glucose range permitted for the test (4-11.1 mmol/L), but MMTT-stimulated C-peptide secretion decreased over the same range, implying differences in sensitivity to glucose. CONCLUSIONS: Measurement of long-term changes in stimulated C-peptide, reflecting endogenous insulin secretion, during the course of intervention trials may be affected by the method of stimulation, possibly reflecting different sensitivities to the physiological status of the tested subject.
