Abstract
Fasting is associated with increased susceptibility to hypoglycemia in people with type 1 diabetes, thereby making it a significant health risk. To date, the relationship between fasting and insulin-induced hypoglycemia has not been well characterized, so our objective was to determine whether insulin-independent factors, such as counterregulatory hormone responses, are adversely impacted by fasting in healthy control individuals. Counterregulatory responses to insulin-induced hypoglycemia were measured in 12 healthy people during 2 metabolic studies. During one study, participants ate breakfast and lunch, after which they underwent a 2-hour bout of insulin-induced hypoglycemia (FED). During the other study, participants remained fasted prior to hypoglycemia (FAST). As expected, hepatic glycogen concentrations were lower in FAST, and associated with diminished peak glucagon levels and reduced endogenous glucose production (EGP) during hypoglycemia. Accompanying lower EGP in FAST was a reduction in peripheral glucose utilization, and a resultant reduction in the amount of exogenous glucose required to maintain glycemia. These data suggest that whereas a fasting-induced lowering of glucose utilization could potentially delay the onset of insulin-induced hypoglycemia, subsequent reductions in glucagon levels and EGP are likely to encumber recovery from it. As a result of this diminished metabolic flexibility in response to fasting, susceptibility to hypoglycemia could be enhanced in patients with type 1 diabetes under similar conditions.

J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2022; 107:e3850-e3856. [PMID: 35608823 PMCID: PMC9387705 DOI: 10.1210/clinem/dgac330] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/17/2021] [Indexed: 11/19/2022]
Abstract
CONTEXT The relationships of gastric emptying (GE) with the glycemic response at 120 minutes, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and insulin secretion following a glucose load in type 2 diabetes (T2D) are uncertain. OBJECTIVE We evaluated the relationship of plasma glucose, GLP-1, and insulin secretion with GE of a 75-g oral glucose load in T2D. DESIGN Single-center, cross-sectional, post hoc analysis. SETTING Institutional research center. PARTICIPANTS 43 individuals with T2D age 65.6 ± 1.1 years, hemoglobin A1c 7.2 ± 1.0%, median duration of diabetes 5 years managed by diet and/or metformin. INTERVENTION Participants consumed the glucose drink radiolabeled with 99mTc-phytate colloid following an overnight fast. GE (scintigraphy), plasma glucose, GLP-1, insulin, and C-peptide were measured between 0 and 180 minutes. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES The relationships of the plasma glucose at 120 minutes, plasma GLP-1, and insulin secretion (calculated by Δinsulin0-30/ Δglucose0-30 and ΔC-peptide0-30/Δglucose0-30) with the rate of GE (scintigraphy) were evaluated. RESULTS There were positive relationships of plasma glucose at 30 minutes (r = 0.56, P < 0.001), 60 minutes (r = 0.57, P < 0.001), and 120 minutes (r = 0.51, P < 0.001) but not at 180 minutes (r = 0.13, P = 0.38), with GE. The 120-minute plasma glucose and GE correlated weakly in multiple regression models adjusting for age, GLP-1, and insulin secretion (P = 0.04 and P = 0.06, respectively). There was no relationship of plasma GLP-1 with GE. Multiple linear regression analysis indicated that there was no significant effect of GE on insulin secretion. CONCLUSION In T2D, while insulin secretion is the dominant determinant of the 120-minute plasma glucose, GE also correlates. Given the relevance to interpreting the results of an oral glucose tolerance test, this relationship should be evaluated further. There appears to be no direct effect of GE on either GLP-1 or insulin secretion.

Abstract
This randomized controlled trial explored the effects of a supine position or a semi-fowler position on postprandial blood pressure (BP) of older adults with primary hypertension and postprandial hypotension (PPH). Ninety-six participants were divided into the supine group, the semi-fowler group, and the control group with block-randomization. After a meal, the patients were placed in a supine position, a 45° semi-fowler position, or allowed daily activities, respectively. BP, heart rate and PPH symptoms were measured 5 times in 120 minutes after the meal. Repeated measurement analysis showed no statistical difference in BP, heart rate and PPH symptom scores among the three groups. BP in all groups decreased rapidly at the 30-minute point, and then moved steadily downward. Taking a supine position or semi-fowler position after meals had no effect on postprandial BP and heart rate after meals in older adults with hypertension and PPH.

Abstract
Background Eating behavior is a major factor in type 2 diabetes. We investigated the different responses of glucose-regulating hormones to cold and hot glucose solutions in normal subjects and patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods In this crossover, self-controlled study, normal subjects (N = 19) and patients with type 2 diabetes (N = 22) were recruited and randomly assigned to a hot (50 °C) or a cold (8 °C) oral glucose-tolerance test (OGTT). The subsequent day, they were switched to the OGTT at the other temperature. Blood glucose, insulin, GIP, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and cortisol were measured at 0, 5, 10, 30, 60, and 120 min during each OGTT. After the hot OGTT, all subjects ingested hot (>42 °C) food and water for that day, and ingested food and water at room temperature (≤24 °C) for the day after cold OGTT. All participants had continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) throughout the study. Results Compared to cold OGTT, blood glucose was significantly higher with hot OGTT in both groups (both P < 0.05). However, insulin and GLP-1 levels were significantly higher in hot OGTT in normal subjects only (both P < 0.05). The GIP and cortisol responses did not differ with temperature in both groups. CGM showed that normal subjects had significantly higher 24-h mean glucose (MBG) (6.11 ± 0.13 vs. 5.84 ± 0.11 mmol/L, P = 0.021), and standard deviation of MBG with hot meals (0.59 ± 0.06 vs. 0.48 ± 0.05 mmol/L, P = 0.043), T2DM patients had higher MBG only (8.46 ± 0.38 vs. 8.88 ± 0.39 mmol/L, P = 0.022). Conclusions Food temperature is an important factor in glucose absorption and GLP-1 response. These food temperatures elicited differences are lost in type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Although slow gastric emptying (gastroparesis) is a well-known complication of chronic hyperglycemia in diabetes mellitus (DM), it recently has become clear that rapid gastric emptying also is a frequent and important diabetic complication. In contrast, acute hyperglycemia causes slow gastric emptying, and acute hypoglycemia causes rapid gastric emptying. Rapid gastric emptying is frequent in T2DM; however, it may also occur in T1DM, particularly in the early stages of the disease, but may persist even into late stages. Recent studies suggest that usually, the stomach restricts the emptying of nutrients to 1-4 kcals/min. This restriction is due to the action of the gastric 'braking' hormones such as GLP-1, leptin, and amylin acting via the gastric inhibitory vagal motor circuit (GIVMC). Disruption of this braking system leads to rapid gastric emptying. Acute hyperglycemia also slows gastric emptying by stimulating the GIVMC, while acute hypoglycemia causes rapid gastric emptying by stimulating the gastric excitatory vagal motor circuit (GEVMC). In contrast, chronic hyperglycemia causes rapid gastric emptying by inducing oxidative stress in the stomach wall that disrupts inhibitory neuromuscular transmission and increases the contractility of the smooth muscle, while chronic hyperglycemia may also cause slow gastric emptying via severe inflammatory stress caused by proinflammatory macrophages and reduce contractility of the smooth muscle. There is a bidirectional relationship between blood glucose and gastric emptying. Thus, rapid gastric emptying may lead to a sizeable postprandial spike, and slow gastric emptying may blunt it. Postprandial hyperglycemia is involved in the development, progression, and complications of DM. Correction of fast gastric emptying involves agents that activate GIVMC and the use of gastric 'braking' hormones or their analogs. Recognition and treatment of rapid gastric emptying may contribute to better management of postprandial hyperglycemia and prevention of some diabetic complications.

Abstract
The interaction between the upper gastrointestinal tract and the endocrine system is important in the regulation of metabolism and of weight. The gastrointestinal tract has a heterogeneous cellular content and comprises a variety of cells that elaborate paracrine and endocrine mediators that collectively form the entero-endocrine system. The advent of therapy that utilizes these pathways as well as the association of bariatric surgery with diabetes remission has (re-)kindled interest in the role of the gastrointestinal tract in glucose homeostasis. In this review, we will use the changes wrought by bariatric surgery to provide insights into the various gut-pancreas interactions that maintain weight, regulate satiety, and limit glucose excursions after meal ingestion.

Effects of Glutamine on Gastric Emptying of Low- and High-Nutrient Drinks in Healthy Young Subjects-Impact on Glycaemia. Nutrients 2018; 10:E739.

Abstract
Glutamine is a potent stimulus for the release of glucagon-like peptide-1, which increases postprandial insulin and slows gastric emptying (GE). We determined the effects of glutamine on GE of, and glycaemic responses to, low- and high-nutrient drinks in eight healthy males (mean age 21.6 ± 0.7 years and BMI 22.9 ± 0.7 kg/m²). Participants were studied on four occasions on which they consumed either a low-nutrient (beef soup; 18 kcal) or high-nutrient (75 g dextrose; 255 kcal) drink, each with or without 30 g of glutamine (120 kcal), in a randomised, crossover design. GE (2D ultrasound), blood glucose and plasma insulin concentrations were measured concurrently. Glutamine slowed GE (half emptying time (T50)) of both low- (45 ± 3 min vs. 26 ± 2 min, p < 0.001), and high-nutrient, (100 ± 5 min vs. 77 ± 5 min, p = 0.03) drinks, however, there was no effect on GE of the high nutrient drinks when expressed as kcal/min (3.39 ± 0.21 kcal/min vs. 3.81 ± 0.20 kcal/min, p = 0.25). There was no change in blood glucose after the low-nutrient drinks with or without glutamine, despite a slight increase in plasma insulin with glutamine (p = 0.007). The rise in blood glucose following the high-nutrient drink (p = 0.0001) was attenuated during the first 60 min by glutamine (p = 0.007). We conclude that in healthy subjects, glutamine slows GE of both low- and high-nutrient drinks comparably and attenuates the rise in blood glucose after the high-nutrient glucose drink.

Abstract
Postprandial glycaemia makes a substantial contribution to overall glycaemic control in diabetes, particularly in patients whose preprandial glycaemia is relatively well controlled and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) only modestly elevated. Our review addresses the determinants of postprandial glycaemia and how it may be targeted therapeutically in children with diabetes. Postprandial glycaemia is influenced by preprandial glycaemia, macronutrients and their absorption, insulin delivery and sensitivity, the action of the enteroendocrine system, and the rate of gastric emptying. Contemporary continuous glucose monitoring systems reveal patterns of post prandial glycaemia and allow management to be guided more precisely. Delays in blood glucose determination, insulin delivery and its absorption remain challenges in the rapidly evolving closed loop continuous subcutaneous insulin and glucagon delivery systems developed for children with type 1 diabetes. Augmentation of the incretin system through nutritional preloads or incretin mimetics targets postprandial glycaemia by slowing gastric emptying as well as insulinotropic and glucagonostatic effects. These treatments are of particular relevance to children with type 2 diabetes. Following the development of targeted therapies in adults, postprandial blood glucose control will now be increasingly targeted in the treatment of diabetes in children.

Relationships of the early insulin secretory response and oral disposition index with gastric emptying in subjects with normal glucose tolerance. Physiol Rep 2017; 5:5/4/e13122. [PMID: 28242817 PMCID: PMC5328768 DOI: 10.14814/phy2.13122] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/14/2016] [Revised: 12/13/2016] [Accepted: 12/14/2016] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
The oral disposition index, the product of the early insulin secretory response during an oral glucose tolerance test and insulin sensitivity, is used widely for both the prediction of, and evaluation of the response to interventions, in type 2 diabetes. Gastric emptying, which determines small intestinal exposure of nutrients, modulates postprandial glycemia. The aim of this study was to determine whether the insulin secretory response and the disposition index (DI) related to gastric emptying in subjects with normal glucose tolerance. Thirty-nine subjects consumed a 350 mL drink containing 75 g glucose labeled with 99mTc-sulfur colloid. Gastric emptying (by scintigraphy), blood glucose (G) and plasma insulin (I) were measured between t = 0-120 min. The rate of gastric emptying was derived from the time taken for 50% emptying (T50) and expressed as kcal/min. The early insulin secretory response was estimated by the ratio of the change in insulin (∆I0-30) to that of glucose at 30 min (∆G0-30) represented as ∆I0-30/∆G0-30 Insulin sensitivity was estimated as 1/fasting insulin and the DI was then calculated as ∆I0-30/∆G0-30 × 1/fasting insulin. There was a direct relationship between ∆G0-30 and gastric emptying (r = 0.47, P = 0.003). While there was no association of either ∆I0-30 (r = -0.16, P = 0.34) or fasting insulin (r = 0.21, P = 0.20), there were inverse relationships between the early insulin secretory response (r = -0.45, P = 0.004) and the DI (r = -0.33, P = 0.041), with gastric emptying. We conclude that gastric emptying is associated with both insulin secretion and the disposition index in subjects with normal glucose tolerance, such that when gastric emptying is relatively more rapid, both the early insulin secretory response and the disposition index are less. These findings should be interpreted as "hypothesis generating" and provide the rationale for longitudinal studies to examine the impact of baseline rate of gastric emptying on the prospective risk of type 2 diabetes.
