Glucagon-like peptide 1 in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus on insulin therapy

Abstract

Insulin administration is one of the ways to intensify glucose-lowering therapy in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The postprandial dynamics of glucagon-like peptide‑1 (GLP-1) in patients with different secretory activity of pancreatic β-cells in patients with T2DM has not been adequately studied.

Aim is to evaluate the stimulated secretion of GLP-1 and C-peptide in patients with T2DM on insulin therapy.

Material and methods. In 108 patients with T2DM on insulin therapy, residual insulin secretion was determined by C-peptide. In patients with different secretory activity of β-cells of the pancreas in a test with “standard breakfast” the degree of changes in C-peptide and GLP-1 at 30 min point was measured, the results were compared with those of healthy individuals.

Results. The basal level of GLP-1 in patients with T2DM was lower than in healthy individuals and was not associated with the basal level of C-peptide. The increase in the level of GLP-1 after standard breakfast in patients with T2DM and signs of secretory deficiency (C-peptide <1.1 ng/ml) was significantly higher than in patients with an increased basal level of C-peptide (>4.4 ng/ml) (p<0.001).
