Glucose control of basal insulin secretion in diabetes

Abstract: Summary. The plasma insulin response to both a small increase and decrease in the plasma glucose has been studied in normal and diabetic, non-obese subjects. In a second investigation the plasma insulin concentrations were measured during a gradual reduction of the raised fasting plasma glucose of diabetes to normal levels. In both studies, diabetic patients were found to have a markedly impaired response of the fasting plasma insulin to small changes in plasma glucose. These results do not support the suggest… Show more

“…However, these studies investigated oral food administration, while our study II bypassed the gastrointestinal system. For the slow intervalled rate of intake, we observed an increase in blood plasma glucose level followed by a slow decrease in glucose level as described in the literature (McCarthy et al, 1977). This time course can be easily explained by the low insulin release elicited by the small ingested amounts during the slow intervalled rate of intake condition.…”

“…The fasting plasma insulin concentration is largely determined by the glucose concentration [3] and the basal hyperglycaemia in diabetes appears to arise from the feedback loop between the liver and/3-cells, thereby maintaining an effective insulin action in the liver and at the periphery [1,4]. The degree of basal hyperglycaemia is thus determined by a combination of/3-cell deficiency and insulin resistance.…”

“…9 If the plasma glucose level is reduced to normal values, then the peripheral basal plasma insulin concentration in these diabetic patients becomes subnormal. 10 We have, therefore, postulated that the raised basal plasma glucose concentration is required to stimulate nearnormal portal basal plasma insulin levels from a reduced insulin secretory capacity.…”
