PG - 108447 LID - S0168-8227(20)30700-2 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.diabres.2020.108447 [doi] AB - AIMS: To test the hypotheses that exogenous carbohydrate oxidation affects postprandial glycaemic profiles and (13)C/(12)C breath test could be used for estimating insulin resistance (IR) and insulin sensitivity (IS) in youths with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D). METHODS: Non-randomized, cross-sectional study for repeated measures; fifteen youths (11-15 years) with T1D were enrolled. Respiratory exchanges were measured by indirect calorimetry after the ingestion of a mixed meal [13% protein, 29% fat, 58% carbohydrate (CHO; naturally enriched with [(13)C]carbohydrates)]. Total and exogenous CHOs oxidation was calculated by indirect calorimetry and (13)C/(12)C breath test. IR and IS were calculated using estimated Glucose Disposal Rate (eGDR) and Insulin Sensitivity Score (ISS). RESULTS: The blood glucose Area Under the Curve (BG-AUC) was significantly associated with the amount of exogenous CHOs oxidized (r = -0.67, p < 0.02) when adjusting for CHOs intake and %fat mass. A direct correlation between eGDR and ISS with exogenous CHOs oxidized (r = 0.70, p < 0.02; r = 0.61, p < 0.05 respectively) and with the differential of (13)C/(12)C enrichment in the expired at breath test (r = 0.59, p < 0.05; r = 0.62, p < 0.05), was found. CONCLUSIONS: Assessing the capacity to oxidize exogenous CHOs (estimated by the differential of (13)C/(12)C enrichment in the expired air at the breath test) could be used as a non-invasive surrogate marker of IR and IS in youths with T1D.
