India, diabetes capital of the world(before China and US as No. of cases; data: WHO) India: 2000:32 mill 2020: 81 mill Zimmet, Nature 2001
Type 2 DM: global epidemic Prevalence depends on: • Age • Residence(urban/rural) • Obesity • Physical activity • Ethnicity
Rising Prevalence of Obesity in Urban India BMI >27 kg/m2 Gupta et al, IHJ 2002
Obese people develop Diabetes • RR risk of DM in females (ref. BMI < 22) • 22-23: 3.0 • 24-25: 5.0 • > 31:40 (Colditz & al, Ann Int Med, 1995, 122; 481-6)

Insulin resistance lack of secretion Diabetes type 1 and 2 Insulin dependent Glucose utilization (muscle) Insulin independent Glucose utilization (brain) Endogenous Glucose production (liver, kidney) insulinemia glycemia Exhogenous glucose administration pancreatic b-cell Insulin secretion Modified from A.Mari 2001
Insulin • Proinsulin (86 AA) = C-Peptide (35 AA) + Insulin(51=A+B chain) • Secreted from pancreatic beta-cells (Langerhans islets) in response to: GLUCOSE, AA, neurotransmitters (AC, like after a meal), hormones (glucagon);FFA? • Increases Glycogen synthesis, inhibits Gluconeogenesis, inhibits lipases and increases FFA deposition in Adipose tissue
Insulin resistance: operational definition Insulin resistance may be defined as inappropriately high glycemia for the insulinemia, or again as inappropriately high insulinemia for the glycemia
Increasing Glycemia Disposition Index Insulin secretion Insulin sensitivity

glycolysis protein breakdown lipid b-oxidation DA oxidation Krebs’ Cycle
Randle’s Cycle • 1963, Sir Philip Randle: cardiac and skeletal muscle shifts back and forth between CHOand fat oxidation depending onthe availability of FFA. • In vivo infusion of lipid increases fat oxidation and decreases glucose oxidation
Inhibition of Lipases Fat storage Hyperinsulinemia Insulin resistance Insulin secretion Glucose Uptake Hyperglycemia (Randle) FFA TG How McDonald & KFC make you diabetic!
BPD and insulin resistance • Insulin resistance after BPD drops dramatically, well before body weight does:Using EHC, whole body glucose uptake increased from 18.18.6 to 35.5 9.9 moles/min/kgbw after an average weight loss of only 11 kg reached 3 months after BPD. A marked reduction of both plasma FFA and TG was observed together with the therapeutic lipid malabsorption (Mingrone, Castagneto et al. Diabetologia 1997). • Also in normal weight subjects with a genetic defect of LPL activity, insulin resistance and frank diabetes mellitus were reversed by lowering plasma TG through lipid malabsorption induced by BPD (Mingrone, Castagneto et al. Diabetes 1999).
Why modelling the G/I system? To identify the components of insulin resistance and measure its level: • Diabetologist approach (lots of data, make a diagnosis) • Standard modeling approach (less data, try to figure out the whole system )
Models • Tracer “hot” vs. “cold” models • Why cold? Our perspective is the clinical application. • TRACERS: Steele 1956 traced glucose constant infusion with approx computation of SteadyState cold inflow.
Bolie 1961 • First attempt to understand actual time-concentration points in plasma. • Introduces plasma insulin and LGE • Problems?

qualitative analysis reveals ... • the actual model functional form, which allows negative solutions to appear, must have something in it which goes against the physiology as we think we know it • Bolie: no matter how little glucose there is in blood, by increasing insulin we would be able to make the tissues extract as much more as we wanted, linearly with insulin levels. • Mechanism seems wrong. Better to change model.
IVGTT • three days of standard composition diet (55% carbohydrate, 30% fat, 15% protein) ad libitum with at least 250g carbohydrates per day • Overnight fast, at 8:00 AM 0.33 g/kgBW IV Glucose • Contralateral IV samples at -30, -15, 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 50, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140, 160, 180 minutes (23 pts.) • On each blood sample determine Glucose, Insulin (C-peptide).

SI : derivation Solving Eq.2 MM for X
SI • For infinite time, SI = b3/b2 • in one third to one half of studies on obese subjects SI cannot be estimated, due to insufficient variation of glucose decrement with insulin. • An IVGTT obvious for insulin resistance (high constant insulin levels) yields no estimable SI.
Applications of MM • Physicians want a single test returning a single measure of insulin resistance, like M/I or SI • MM applied to diabetes, aging, hyperthyroidism, hyperparathyroidism, myotonic dystrophy, pregnancy and gynecological conditions, obesity, hypertension, cirrhosis, ethnical subpopulations, in siblings of diabetic patients, during pharmacological tests
Minimal model • Whole body, cold • Can compute SI … • …de-facto standard
Minimal problems • Models only IVGTT (nonautonomous) • Fitting: piecewise? • SI strictly valid at infinite time, MM “valid” for 3 hrs. • SI not estimable in many interesting cases.
Structural problems Suppose Gb > b5, Then In other words, for any value b5 < Gb the system does not admit an equilibrium.
Estimation problems • Two-step procedure advocated by Authors • Each step fits one arm of feedback cycle • Interpolated observed concentrations used as forcing function G I
We would like: • single model, single fit of both feedback arms • positiveness, boundedness of solutions • stability WRT parameters & initial conditions • good fit, identifiability • direct physiological meaning
The SDM ,
SDM characteristics • Single locally attractive equilibrium at baseline • Positive, limited solutions • Global stability guaranteed under conditions on parameters* • Physiologically limited pancreatic secretion ability • Single pass GLS estimation *Giang, Lenbury, Palumbo, Panunzi, De Gaetano, 2006-2007
