The postoperative increase in glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is the main factor to improve glucose metabolism following sleeve gastrectomy (SG) in obese patients with type 2 diabetes. We investigated whether the β-cell responsiveness to an injection of exogenous GLP-1 in the preoperative period could determine the postoperative glucose tolerance in 18 patients underwent SG. In the preoperative period, a regular oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and an exenatide-challenge during OGTT (Ex-OGTT) were performed to evaluate the β-cell function and its responsiveness to GLP-1. The postoperative glucose tolerance was evaluated by another regular OGTT performed at 3 months after SG. The significant decrease in glucose levels with enhanced secretions of insulin and GLP-1 was observed in OGTT at 3 months after SG. The area under the curve of glucose from 0 to 120 minutes (AUC glucose) and the insulinogenic index (I.I.) in OGTT at 3 months post-SG were significantly improved compared to those in preoperative period, but comparable with those in Ex-OGTT. AUC glucose and I.I. in OGTT at 3 months post-SG were significantly correlated with not only those in Ex-OGTT, but also those in the preoperative regular OGTT. Conversely, the correlations calculated by the Spearman's ρ were stronger in the latter than the former. This exenatide-challenge protocol might be useful to estimate glucose tolerance and insulin secretion after SG, however, it may be insufficient to improve predictability of a patient who is likely to achieve a significant benefit on glucose metabolism from receiving SG.

Objective: We investigated associations between per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and changes in diabetes indicators from pregnancy to 12 years after delivery among women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).

Research Design And Methods: Eighty Hispanic women with GDM history were followed from the third trimester of pregnancy to 12 years after delivery. Oral and intravenous glucose tolerance tests were conducted during follow-up.

Fasting glucose levels at diagnosis and delivery are associated with postpartum glucose abnormalities in GDM women.

Women with a history of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) significantly increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life. Although the increased glucose levels typically return to normal range after delivery for most GDM women, a significant proportion of GDM women develop impaired glucose tolerance or overt diabetes after delivery. Several factors associated with postpartum glucose abnormalities have been identified, yet the link between fasting glucose levels at diagnosis of GDM and postpartum glucose abnormalities remains unclear.

Glucose Metabolic Abnormalities and Their Interaction With Defective Phosphate Homeostasis in Tumor-induced Osteomalacia.

Context: Phosphate homeostasis was compromised in tumor-induced osteomalacia (TIO) due to increased fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) secretion. Nevertheless, the glucose metabolic profile in TIO patients has not been investigated.

Objectives: This work aimed to clarify the glucose metabolic profiles in TIO patients and explore their interaction with impaired phosphate homeostasis.

Objective: Type A insulin resistance syndrome (IRS), characterized by impaired insulin receptor function due to variants of the insulin receptor gene, manifests as severe insulin-resistant diabetes. Differentiation of type A IRS from type 2 diabetes on the basis of hyperinsulinemia can be challenging. Given the association between insulin receptor dysfunction and reduced insulin clearance, we evaluated the potential of the circulating C-peptide reactivity (CPR)/immunoreactive insulin (IRI) molar ratio, a marker of insulin clearance, for distinguishing type A IRS from type 2 diabetes.
