Background: Impaired endogenous insulin secretion was related to instability of glucose variability (GV) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) in our previous studies. However, some patients, including those with fasting serum C-peptide (CPR) ≤2 ng/mL, did not show this relationship. Given these findings, the present study aimed to identify other factors that affect GV in T2DM patients with impaired endogenous insulin secretion.

Methods: Data were obtained from our prospective observational study, comprising 2Japanese outpatients with T2DM who underwent continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) , fasting blood sample collection, and a computed tomography scan of their abdominal visceral and subcutaneous fat. Fasting CPR was used as a marker of endogenous insulin secretion and the coefficient of variation (CV) for the CGM data was used as a measure of GV. Background characteristics related to unstable GV were identified by multivariate logistic regression analysis after we extracted the data for patients with T2DM and CPR ≤2 ng/mL. All tests were two-sided. P&lt;0.was considered to indicate statistical significance.

Results: In the total cohort, mean age was 67.0 (IQR 58.0, 74.8) years, mean HbA1c 7.1% (IQR 6.6%, 7.7%) , and mean body mass index (BMI) 25.0 (IQR 23.0, 28.4) kg/m2. In patients with low CPR (≤2 ng/mL; n=119) , small visceral fat area (VFA) was an independent risk factor for CV above the median CV (OR 0.98, 95% CI 0.97-0.99, P=0.0443) , while subcutaneous fat area (SFA) and BMI were equally distributed. In patients with high CPR (&gt;2 ng/mL; n=85) , VFA, SFA, and BMI were equally distributed between patients with CV above or below the median CV.

Conclusions: GV is unstable in T2DM patients with impaired endogenous insulin secretion, particularly in patients with small VFA. The present findings suggest that visceral fat is related to the stability of GV.
