    (Elsevier, 2021) Utzschneider, Kristina M.; Tripputi, Mark T.; Kozedub, Alexandra; Barengolts, Elena; Caprio, Sonia; Cree-Green, Melanie; Edelstein, Sharon L.; El Ghormli, Laure; Hannon, Tamara S.; Mather, Kieren J.; Palmer, Jerry; Nadeau, Kristen J.; RISE Consortium; Medicine, School of Medicine
    Aims: To compare OGTT-derived estimates of β-cell function between youth and adults with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes after treatment discontinuation in RISE. Methods: Youth (n = 89) and adults (n = 132) were randomized to 3 months glargine followed by 9 months metformin (G/M) or 12 months metformin (MET). Insulin sensitivity and β-cell responses were estimated from 3-hour OGTTs over 21 months. Linear mixed models tested for differences by time and age group within each treatment arm. Results: After treatment withdrawal, HbA1c increased in both youth and adults with a larger net increase in G/M youth vs. adults at 21 months. Among youth, β-cell function decreased starting at 12 months in G/M and 15 months in MET. Among adults, β-cell function remained relatively stable although insulin secretion rates decreased in G/M at 21 months. At 21 months vs. baseline β-cell function declined to a greater extent in youth vs. adults in both the G/M and MET treatment arms. Conclusions: After treatment withdrawal youth demonstrated progressive decline in β-cell function after stopping treatment with either G/M or MET. In contrast, β-cell function in adults remained stable despite an increase in HbA1c over time.

    Islet Autoimmunity in Adults With Impaired Glucose Tolerance and Recently Diagnosed, Treatment Naïve Type 2 Diabetes in the Restoring Insulin SEcretion (RISE) Study
    (Frontiers Media, 2021-04-26) Brooks-Worrell, Barbara M.; Tjaden, Ashley H.; Edelstein, Sharon L.; Palomino, Brenda; Utzschneider, Kristina M.; Arslanian, Silva; Mather, Kieren J.; Buchanan, Thomas A.; Nadeau, Kristen J.; Atkinson, Karen; Barengolts, Elena; Kahn, Steven E.; Palmer, Jerry P.; RISE Consortium; Medicine, School of Medicine
    The presence of islet autoantibodies and islet reactive T cells (T+) in adults with established type 2 diabetes (T2D) have been shown to identify those patients with more severe β-cell dysfunction. However, at what stage in the progression toward clinical T2D does islet autoimmunity emerge as an important component influencing β-cell dysfunction? In this ancillary study to the Restoring Insulin SEcretion (RISE) Study, we investigated the prevalence of and association with β-cell dysfunction of T+ and autoantibodies to the 65 kDa glutamic acid decarboxylase antigen (GADA) in obese pre-diabetes adults with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and recently diagnosed treatment naïve (Ndx) T2D. We further investigated the effect of 12 months of RISE interventions (metformin or liraglutide plus metformin, or with 3 months of insulin glargine followed by 9 months of metformin or placebo) on islet autoimmune reactivity. We observed GADA(+) in 1.6% of NdxT2D and 4.6% of IGT at baseline, and in 1.6% of NdxT2D and 5.3% of IGT at 12 months, but no significant associations between GADA(+) and β-cell function. T(+) was observed in 50% of NdxT2D and 60.4% of IGT at baseline, and in 68.4% of NdxT2D and 83.9% of IGT at 12 months. T(+) NdxT2D were observed to have significantly higher fasting glucose (p = 0.004), and 2 h glucose (p = 0.0032), but significantly lower steady state C-peptide (sscpep, p = 0.007) compared to T(-) NdxT2D. T(+) IGT participants demonstrated lower but not significant (p = 0.025) acute (first phase) C-peptide response to glucose (ACPRg) compared to T(-) IGT. With metformin treatment, T(+) participants were observed to have a significantly lower Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c, p = 0.002) and fasting C-peptide (p = 0.002) compared to T(-), whereas T(+) treated with liraglutide + metformin had significantly lower sscpep (p = 0.010) compared to T(-) participants. In the placebo group, T(+) participants demonstrated significantly lower ACPRg (p = 0.001) compared to T(-) participants. In summary, T(+) were found in a large percentage of obese pre-diabetes adults with IGT and in recently diagnosed T2D. Moreover, T(+) were significantly correlated with treatment effects and β-cell dysfunction. Our results demonstrate that T(+) are an important component in T2D.

    Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Glucose Tolerance, and β-Cell Function in Adults With Prediabetes or Untreated Type 2 Diabetes in the Restoring Insulin Secretion (RISE) Study
    (American Diabetes Association, 2021-04) Mokhlesi, Babak; Tjaden, Ashley H.; Temple, Karla A.; Edelstein, Sharon L.; Sam, Susan; Nadeau, Kristen J.; Hannon, Tamara S.; Manchanda, Shalini; Mather, Kieren J.; Kahn, Steven E.; Ehrmann, David A.; Van Cauter, Eve; RISE Consortium; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
    Objective: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is associated with insulin resistance and has been described as a risk factor for type 2 diabetes. Whether OSA adversely impacts pancreatic islet β-cell function remains unclear. We aimed to investigate the association of OSA and short sleep duration with β-cell function in overweight/obese adults with prediabetes or recently diagnosed, treatment-naive type 2 diabetes. Research design and methods: Two hundred twenty-one adults (57.5% men, age 54.5 ± 8.7 years, BMI 35.1 ± 5.5 kg/m2) completed 1 week of wrist actigraphy and 1 night of polysomnography before undergoing a 3-h oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and a two-step hyperglycemic clamp. Associations of measures of OSA and actigraphy-derived sleep duration with HbA1c, OGTT-derived outcomes, and clamp-derived outcomes were evaluated with adjusted regression models. Results: Mean ± SD objective sleep duration by actigraphy was 6.6 ± 1.0 h/night. OSA, defined as an apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) of five or more events per hour, was present in 89% of the participants (20% mild, 28% moderate, 41% severe). Higher AHI was associated with higher HbA1c (P = 0.007). However, OSA severity, measured either by AHI as a continuous variable or by categories of OSA severity, and sleep duration (continuous or <6 vs. ≥6 h) were not associated with fasting glucose, 2-h glucose, insulin sensitivity, or β-cell responses. Conclusions: In this baseline cross-sectional analysis of the RISE clinical trial of adults with prediabetes or recently diagnosed, untreated type 2 diabetes, the prevalence of OSA was high. Although some measures of OSA severity were associated with HbA1c, OSA severity and sleep duration were not associated with measures of insulin sensitivity or β-cell responses.

    OGTT Glucose Response Curves, Insulin Sensitivity, and β-Cell Function in RISE: Comparison Between Youth and Adults at Randomization and in Response to Interventions to Preserve β-Cell Function
    (American Diabetes Association, 2021) Arslanian, Silva A.; El Ghormli, Laure; Kim, Joon Young; Tjaden, Ashley H.; Barengolts, Elena; Caprio, Sonia; Hannon, Tamara S.; Mather, Kieren J.; Nadeau, Kristen J.; Utzschneider, Kristina M.; Kahn, Steven E.; RISE Consortium; Pediatrics, School of Medicine
    We examined the glucose response curves (biphasic [BPh], monophasic [MPh], incessant increase [IIn]) during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and their relationship to insulin sensitivity (IS) and β-cell function (βCF) in youth versus adults with impaired glucose tolerance or recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: This was both a cross-sectional and a longitudinal evaluation of participants in the RISE study randomized to metformin alone for 12 months or glargine for 3 months followed by metformin for 9 months. At baseline/randomization, OGTTs (85 youth, 353 adults) were categorized as BPh, MPh, or IIn. The relationship of the glucose response curves to hyperglycemic clamp-measured IS and βCF at baseline and the change in glucose response curves 12 months after randomization were assessed. RESULTS: At randomization, the prevalence of the BPh curve was significantly higher in youth than adults (18.8% vs. 8.2%), with no differences in MPh or IIn. IS did not differ across glucose response curves in youth or adults. However, irrespective of curve type, youth had lower IS than adults (P < 0.05). βCF was lowest in IIn versus MPh and BPh in youth and adults (P < 0.05), yet compared with adults, youth had higher βCF in BPh and MPh (P < 0.005) but not IIn. At month 12, the change in glucose response curves did not differ between youth and adults, and there was no treatment effect. CONCLUSIONS: Despite a twofold higher prevalence of the more favorable BPh curve in youth at randomization, RISE interventions did not result in beneficial changes in glucose response curves in youth compared with adults. Moreover, the typical β-cell hypersecretion in youth was not present in the IIn curve, emphasizing the severity of β-cell dysfunction in youth with this least favorable glucose response curve.

    Precision and accuracy of hyperglycemic clamps in a multicenter study
    (American Physiological Society, 2021) Mather, Kieren J.; Tjaden, Ashley H.; Hoehn, Adam; Nadeau, Kristen J.; Buchanan, Thomas A.; Kahn, Steven E.; Arslanian, Silva A.; Caprio, Sonia; Atkinson, Karen M.; Cree-Green, Melanie; Utzschneider, Kristina M.; Edelstein, Sharon L.; RISE Consortium; Medicine, School of Medicine
    Application of glucose clamp methodologies in multicenter studies brings challenges for standardization. The Restoring Insulin Secretion (RISE) Consortium implemented a hyperglycemic clamp protocol across seven centers using a combination of technical and management approaches to achieve standardization. Two-stage hyperglycemic clamps with glucose targets of 200 mg/dL and >450 mg/dL were performed utilizing a centralized spreadsheet-based algorithm that guided dextrose infusion rates using bedside plasma glucose measurements. Clamp operators received initial and repeated training with ongoing feedback based on surveillance of clamp performance. The precision and accuracy of the achieved stage-specific glucose targets were evaluated, including differences by study center. We also evaluated robustness of the method to baseline physiologic differences and on-study treatment effects. The RISE approach produced high overall precision (3%–9% variance in achieved plasma glucose from target at various times across the procedure) and accuracy (SD < 10% overall). Statistically significant but numerically small differences in achieved target glucose concentrations were observed across study centers, within the magnitude of the observed technical variability. Variation of the achieved target glucose over time in placebo-treated individuals was low (<3% variation), and the method was robust to differences in baseline physiology (youth vs. adult, IGT vs. diabetes status) and differences in physiology induced by study treatments. The RISE approach to standardization of the hyperglycemic clamp methodology across multiple study centers produced technically excellent standardization of achieved glucose concentrations. This approach provides a reliable method for implementing glucose clamp methodology across multiple study centers. NEW & NOTEWORTHY: The Restoring Insulin Secretion (RISE) study centers undertook hyperglycemic clamps using a simplified methodology and a decision guidance algorithm implemented in an easy-to-use spreadsheet. This approach, combined with active management including ongoing central data surveillance and routine feedback to study centers, produced technically excellent standardization of achieved glucose concentrations on repeat studies within and across study centers.
