  1. Targeting the Underlying Pathophysiology of Type 2 Diabetes

  2. Aim Provide practical guidance on improving diabetes care through highlighting the need to: • understand that insulin resistance and b-cell dysfunction are core defects of type 2 diabetes • address the underlying pathophysiology

  3. Type 2 diabetes • Characterized by chronic hyperglycemia • Associated with microvascular and macrovascular complications • Generally arises from a combination of insulin resistance and -cell dysfunction Definition, Diagnosis and Classification of Diabetes Mellitus and its Complications. Department of Noncommunicable Disease Surveillance,World Health Organization, Geneva 1999. Available at: http://www.diabetes.org.uk/infocentre/carerec/diagnosi.doc

  4. IR What is insulin resistance? • Major defect in individuals with type 2 diabetes1 • Reduced biological response to insulin1–3 • Strong predictor of type 2 diabetes4 • Closely associated with obesity5 1American Diabetes Association. Diabetes Care 1998; 21:310–314. 2Beck-Nielsen H & Groop LC. J Clin Invest 1994; 94:1714–1721. 3Bloomgarden ZT. Clin Ther 1998; 20:216–231. 4Haffner SM, et al. Circulation 2000; 101:975–980. 5Boden G. Diabetes 1997; 46:3–10.

  5.    What is -cell dysfunction? • Major defect in individuals with type 2 diabetes • Reduced ability of -cells to secrete insulin in response to hyperglycemia DeFronzo RA, et al. Diabetes Care 1992; 15:318–354.

  6. Genetic susceptibility, obesity, Western lifestyle Insulin resistance b-cell dysfunction  IR Type 2 diabetes Insulin resistance and -cell dysfunction are core defects of type 2 diabetes Rhodes CJ & White MF. Eur J Clin Invest 2002; 32 (Suppl. 3):3–13.

  7. Insulin resistance Increased insulinresistance Insulin secretion Hyperinsulinemia, then -cell failure Post-prandial glucose Abnormal glucose tolerance Fasting glucose Hyperglycemia *IGT = impaired glucose tolerance Normal IGT* Type 2 diabetes Adapted from Type 2 Diabetes BASICS. International Diabetes Center (IDC), Minneapolis, 2000. How do insulin resistance and -cell dysfunction combine to cause type 2 diabetes?

  8. How is insulin resistance measured? • Several methods exist, including: • continuous sampling of insulin/glucose1 • gold standard, but impractical for large-scale use • single measure of insulin/glucose2 • simple estimate from fasting insulin and glucose • useful for assessment on a larger scale 1Bergman RN, et al. Eur J Clin Invest 2002; 32 (Suppl. 3):35–45. 2Matthews DR, et al. Diabetologia 1985; 28:412–419.

  9. More than 80% of patients progressing to type 2 diabetes are insulin resistant Insulin sensitive;low insulin secretion (16%) Insulin sensitive;good insulin secretion (1%) Insulin resistant;low insulin secretion (54%) 83% Insulin resistant; good insulin secretion (29%) Haffner SM, et al. Circulation 2000; 101:975–980.

  11. Overall, 75% of patients with type 2 diabetes die from cardiovascular disease Gray RP & Yudkin JS. Cardiovascular disease in diabetes mellitus. In Textbook of Diabetes 2nd Edition, 1997. Blackwell Sciences.

  15. ~90% of people with type 2 diabetes are overweight or obese World Health Organization, 2005. http://www.who.int/dietphysicalactivity/publications/facts/obesity

  16. How is -cell function measured? • -cell function is difficult to measure and most methods are impractical for large-scale use1 • Homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) provides a simple estimate of -cell function2 • Proinsulin:insulin ratio is sometimes used as a marker of -cell dysfunction1 1Matthews DR, et al. Diabetologia 1985; 28:412–419. 2Bergman RN, et al. Eur J Clin Invest 2002; 32 (Suppl. 3):35–45.

  17. Why does the -cell fail?
