The aim of our study was to determine the relationships between obesity, body composition and daily dynamics of glucose, assessed by continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), in patients with type 2 diabetes treated with insulin. Materials and Methods: One hundred and thirty six insulin-treated patients with type 2 diabetes were examined. Real-time or blinded CGM was performed using Medtronic CGM devices in hospital settings. Time in ranges and a panel of GV parameters were derived from CGM recordings. Results: Patients with obesity, as compared to those without, demonstrated significantly reduced Time Below Range (p<0.001), Low Blood Glucose Index (p<0.001), Lability Index (p=0.04), Men Absolute Glucose (p=0.03) and a tendency to lower Mean Amplidude of Glucose Excursions (p=0.08) and higher glycated hemoglobin HbA1c (p=0.07). There were negative correlations between total fat mass and Standard Deviation (r=-0.53, p=0.0008), Mean Amplitude of Glucose Excursions (r=-0.38, p=0.02), Lability Index (r=-0.51, p=0.0008), High Blood Glucose Index (r=-0.33, p=0.04) and MAG (r=-0.57, p=0.0001). Truncal fat mass, android and gynoid fat mass demonstrated negative correlations with these GV parameters also. Conclusions: These data demonstrate the association between obesity, body composition and CGM parameters in insulin-treated type 2 diabetic subjects. The presence of obesity and accumulation of adipose tissue is associated with reduced GV and diminished risk of hypoglycemia.

The aim of our study was to determine the clinical and metabolic parameters associated with non-targeted time in range (TIR) increased GV in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) treated with insulin.В Materials and Methods: One hundred and thirty six insulin-treated patients with T2D were included. Real-time or blinded CGM was performed using Medtronic CGM devices. The TIR and Mean Amplitude of Glucose Excursion (MAGE) were estimated. The advance glycation end-products (AGEs) levels were measured in blood serum by ELISA.В Results: Patients with non-targeted TIR (>70%) had higher glycated hemoglobin HbA1c, triglycerides and proteinuria as compared to those with targeted TIR. Urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio tended to be higher in patients with non-targeted TIR also. Patients with higher MAGE (>4.5 mmol/l) demonstrated lower levels of triglycerides and uric acid and increased AGEs levels as compared to those with MAGE <4.5 mmol/l.В Conclusions: In T2D subjects, non-targeted TIR is associated with hypertriglyceridemia and proteinuria, meantime, increased MAGE is related to lower serum levels of triglycerides and uric acid and higher levels of AGEs.

We aimed to assess the relationships between GV parameters, serum levels of glycation products, albuminuria and renal function in subjects with type 1 diabetes (T1D) at early and advanced stages of CKD. Materials and Methods: We observed 148 T1D patients, including 95 individuals with CKD C1-C2 and 53 subjects had CKD C3-5. Time in range (TIR: 70-180 mg/dl), time below range (TBR), time above range (TAR) and a panel of GV parameters were derived from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). Serum levels of 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG), glycated albumin (GA) and advanced glycation end products (AGEs) were determined by ELISA and compared to control (20 healthy subjects). Results: In patients with CKD C1-C2, HbA1c levels correlated positively with mean monitored glucose, TAR, MAGE, LI, HBGI, CONGA, MAG and M-value. In patients with more advanced CKD stages these relationships were lost. Concentrations of GA and AGEs were elevated significantly in subjects with diabetes as compared to control (p=0.004 and p<0.0001, respectively). The levels of 1,5-AG were reduced (p<0.0001), reflecting increase in GV. The levels of GA, but not AGEs, were associated negatively with 1,5-AG concentration. In CKD C1-C2 group, the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) showed inverse relationships with TBR and LBGI. Oppositely, in CKD C3-C5 patients eGFR correlated negatively with mean glucose, TAR, MAGE, CONGA, HBGI and M-value and some GV parameters. In both groups albuminuria was associated positively with AGEs, GA, HbA1c, mean glucose, TAR, and GV indices. Conclusions: The results demonstrate different patterns of relationships between eGFR and GV parameters in patients with T1D at early and advanced CKD stages. In these patients, enhanced GV may contribute to albuminuria […]
