The relationships between glucose variability and renal function in type 2 diabetes patients on basal-bolus insulin therapy

BACKGROUND: High glucose variability (GV) is recognized as a risk factor for vascular diabetic complications and hypoglycemia. Factors affecting GV in patients with diabetes needed to be clarified.AIM: To determine the factors associated with high GV in adult patients with type 1 diabetes.MATERIALS AND METHODS: We conducted a single center cross-sectional observational study. In-patients with type 1 diabetes aged 18 to 65 years on basal bolus insulin therapy were included. Day-time and nocturnal Coefficient of Variation (CV), Mean Amplitude of Glycemic Excursions (MAGE), Mean Absolute Glucose (MAG) were calculated from continuous glucose monitoring data. The values of CV, MAGE, MAG within the upper quartile were considered high.RESULTS: The study included 400 individuals, including 111 on continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (CSII). Patients with high GV had lower fasting and postprandial C-peptide levels and higher insulin doses. According to ROC analysis, daily insulin dose >0.69 U/kg and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥90.5 ml/min×1.73 m2 were associated with high nocturnal CV values. Dose of basal insulin >0.292 U/kg and bolus insulin >0.325 U/day were associated with nocturnal MAGE. Body mass index (BMI) ≤23.2 kg/m2, waist circumference ≤80.5 cm, daily insulin dose ≥0.69 U/kg, HbA1c ≥8.3%, eGFR ≥89.5 ml/ min×1.73m2 increased risk of high MAG at night. High day-time CV values were associated with daily insulin dose ≥0.675 U/kg and daily dose of BI ≥0.286 U/kg. The risk of high MAGE was increased with HbA1c ≥8.24% and basal insulin dose ≥0.286 U/kg. BMI ≤23.2 kg/m2, waist circumference ≤80.5 cm, daily insulin dose ≥0.69 U/kg, daily dose of bolus and basal insulin ≥0.325 and ≥0.29 U/kg respectively, and HbA1c ≥8.33% were the risk factors for high day-time MAG. Patients on CSII had lower MAGE (p<0.001) and MAG (p=0.008) compared to those on multiple daily injections.CONCLUSION: In type 1 diabetes, high GV is associated with undetectable residual insulin secretion, normal or reduced body weight, preserved kidney function, supraphysiological doses of insulin, and non-target HbA1c. Patients on CSII have a lower GV than those on multiple daily injections.

Objective — to study the morphometric characteristics of the brain in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM) receiving insulin therapy in diff erent modes, taking into account the variability of glycemia. Material and methods. 120 patients with type 1 diabetes, living in Tomsk and the Tomsk Region, were examined. All patients were divided into 2 groups: group 1 — patients receiving insulin in the base-bolus regimen of multiple insulin injections (MII), group 2 — using pump insulin therapy by continuous subcutaneous infusion of insulin using a wearable dispenser (CSII). Patients took this therapy for at least 6 months before inclusion in the study. All patients underwent a general clinical examination, testing of cognitive functions using the Montreal scale (MoCA test), continuous monitoring of blood glycemia (CMG) using iPro™ 2 Professional Continuous Glucose Monitoring (Medtronic, USA), FreeStyle Libre (Abbot, USA) in for 14 days, standard magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on a 1.5 Tesla apparatus in axial, sagittal and coronal projections using T2, TE, T1, and using programs that suppress the signal of free water. We processed the results of MRI using Free Surfer (USA) and recon-all segmentation algorithm. Statistical analysis was performed using the R-system software package. Results. It was found that in both groups with type 1 diabetes there was a decrease in cognitive functions. It has been shown that CSII is associated with the best completion of the MoCA test. In addition, it has been reported that more frequent episodes of diabetic ketoacidosis and increased glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) are the main causes of cognitive impairment in this group of patients. Changes in the morphometric parameters of the brain are interconnected with glycemic variability. Conclusion. In patients with type 1 diabetes, cognitive impairment associated with acute and chronic hyperglycemia was verifi ed. Morphometric features of brain changes are more dependent on glycemic variability. CSII helps improve cognitive function.

The relevance of the study of glycemic variability in patients with diabetes mellitus and diabetic nephropathy is due to disability of the able-bodied population and high mortality against the background of the almost irreversible progression of diabetic nephropathy. The article highlights modern ideas about the influence of various factors on the occurrence of diabetic nephropathy and its course. The article is devoted to a review of current recommendations on diabetes mellitus and diabetic nephropathy; the etiopathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy was described in detail. The role of the kidneys in glucose homeostasis, renal gluconeogenesis, and glucose reabsorption by the kidneys in healthy and in pathology is described. Detailed expositions of glycemic variability parameters, their changes in patients with diabetes mellitus depending on the stage of diabetic kidney damage are presented. The role of the kidneys in maintaining energy homeostasis, impaired glucose homeostasis in conditions of chronic kidney disease is described. We analyzed different options for insulin therapy, their advantages, and disadvantages in patients with diabetes mellitus with diabetic nephropathy. The presented material is extremely relevant for the development and implementation in the clinical practice of glycemic control methods to optimize treatment tactics, prevent the formation of microvascular complications, and early disability of patients with diabetes mellitus.
