The 1 Hour Oral Glucose Tolerance Test Predicts Development of Dysglycemia and T2DM Público
Zhang, Amanda (Spring 2019)
Abstract
Background: Inadequate insulin secretion due to pancreatic beta cell dysfunction underlies the development and progression of type 2 diabetes (T2DM), a major public health problem. Since current methods of assessing beta cell function are time-consuming, labor- intensive, and expensive, we investigated whether the plasma glucose at 1 hour in an oral glucose tolerance test (1hOGTT) could be an equally accurate but more convenient and less costly alternative.
Methods: The areas under receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC AUCs) were used to compare the accuracy of predicting the progression towards T2DM over 3 years in 489 participants with complete data in the European Relationship between Insulin Sensitivity
and Cardiovascular disease (RISC) Study.
Results: The ROC AUCs for 1hOGTT were 0.676 (95% CI 0.633 - 0.718) for prediction of progression from normal glucose metabolism to dysglycemia (pre-T2DM or T2DM), 0.809 (0.763-0.854) for non-high risk dysglycemia to high risk dysglycemia, and 0.910 (0.861-0.959) for non-T2DM to T2DM, all comparable or superior to more complex assessments, including the euglycemic insulin clamp, OGTT modeling, insulinogenic index, and beta cell glucose sensitivity. The findings were similar in paired analyses of data from 369-743 participants.
Conclusions: Prediction of progression toward T2DM with the simple, convenient 1hOGTT is comparable to prediction with complex and costly methods. Consideration should be given to use of the 1hOGTT for screening and to complement more complex measures in understanding mechanisms to support discovery of new treatments.
