What is Type 2 diabetes? A progressive metabolic disorder characterised by: Type 2 diabetes -cell dysfunction Insulin resistance Adapted from: Beck-Nielson H et al. JClin Invest 1994;94:1714–1721 and Saltiel AR, Olefsky JM. Diabetes 1996;45:1661–1669
Insulin resistance and insulinhypersecretion precede type 2 diabetes Insulin Insulin Macrovascularsensitivity secretion disease 30% 50% 50% 50% 70–100% 40% 70% 150% 10% 100% 100% Type 2 diabetes IGT Impaired glucose metabolism Normal glucose metabolism Adapted from: Beck-Nielsen H, Groop LC. J Clin Invest 1994;94:1714–1721
Clinical indicators ofthe Insulin Resistance Syndrome • + Insulin resistance • + Type 2 diabetes or IGT • + Dyslipidaemia ( TG, LDLc, HDLc) • + Central obesity • + Hypertension • + Hyperinsulinaemia (initially) • + Atherosclerosis DeFronzo RA, Ferrannini E. Diabetes Care 1991;14(3):173–194

Why does obesity cause type 2 diabetes? • high levels of free fatty acids found in obese or overweight patients, interfere with glucose metabolism
Mechanisms of insulin resistance linking fatty acid and glucose metabolism Increased adipocyte lipolysis (central obesity) hepatic gluconeogenesis glycogen content glycogen synthase FFAs acetyl CoA (cellular) pyruvate dehydrogenase NADH/NAD citrate phosphofructokinase plasma glucose glucose transport hexokinase glucose 6-P
Differences between visceral and subcutaneous fat Visceral fatSubcutaneous fat 6-20% of total body fat 80% of total body fat Greater number of smaller cells Smaller number of large cells with richer blood supply with poorer blood supply Intra-abdominal with direct Extra-abdominal drainage to portal vein Greater catecholamine-induced Reduced catecholamine-induced lipolysis lipolysis Reduced insulin inhibition of Increased insulin inhibition of lipolysis lipolysis
How can the impact of diabetes and metabolic syndrome to cause vascular disease be reduced?
How can insulin resistance be reduced? Lifestyle Weight reduction - optimum BMI in Caucasians? Increasing levels of energy expenditure Medication Metformin & Glitazones
Reduction in risk of various clinical endpoints with metformin (n=342) compared with a conventional policy in overweight patients (BMI=31) with type 2 diabetes Clinical endpoint Risk reduction p value Any diabetes-related endpoint 32% 0.002 Diabetes-related deaths 42% 0.017 All-cause mortality 36% 0.011 Myocardial infarction 39% 0.010 Data taken from UK Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) group. Lancet 1998; 352: 854-65.
How does activation of PPAR enhance insulin action and normalise blood glucose? Reduced hepatic glucose output Adipocyte Liver Reversal of TNF-induced insulin resistance GLUT-4 Reduced lipolysis and free fatty acid availability Increased insulin sensitivity and capacity for glucose disposal/lipid storage Euglycaemia PPAR Glitazone and insulin Skeletal muscle TG & PKC PPAR Pre-adipocyte Increased glucose disposal Increased differentiation
Treatment with glitazones Diagnosis Diet and Exercise Normal weight Overweight HbA1c > 7% Sulphonylurea Metformin HbA1c > 7% HbA1c > 7% Can’t use Metformin Obese Add Glitazone
