[Relationship between serum 1, 5-anhydroglucitol level and insulin resistance, microvascular complications in type 2 diabetes mellitus].

ABSTRACT

Objective: To explore the relationship between serum 1, 5-dehydratoglucitol (1, 5-AG) level and insulin resistance, microvascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods: The clinical data of 836 patients with T2DM admitted to the Changsha Central Hospital Affiliated to University of South China from May to December 2023 were retrospectively and cross-sectionally analyzed. Serum 1, 5-AG levels were detected by pyranose oxidase method. According to the microvascular complications (diabetic peripheral neuropathy, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic retinopathy), the patients were divided into simple group (no microvascular complications, n=490), complication group 1 (1 microvascular complications, n=217), and complication group 2 (2 or more microvascular complications, n=129). The relationship between serum 1, 5-AG level and the related indicators of insulin resistance in T2DM patients were explored by Spearman correlation analysis, and the influencing factors of microvascular complications in T2DM patients were explored by multiple ordered logistic regression analysis. Results: The levels of FBG(fasting blood glucose) [(7.37±0.56) mmol/L], FINS(fasting insulin) [(11.34±1.86) mU/L] and HOMA-IR(homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance) (0.96±0.31) in simple group were lower than those in complication group 1 [(8.37±1.02) mmol/L, (16.26±2.32) mU/L, (1.32±0.41)], complication group 2 [(10.25±2.13) mmol/L, (18.53±2.67) mU/L, (1.54±0.44)], and FBG, FINS and HOMA-IR in complication group 1 were lower than those in complication group 2, and the differences were statistically significant (F=537.470, 791.690, 136.340, P<0.001). Serum 1, 5-AG level in simple group [77.16 (16.30, 128.07) µg/ml] was higher than that in complication group 1 [51.05 (14.67, 63.18) µg/ml] and complication group 2 [30.42 (12.53, 47.26) µg/ml], and the serum level of 1, 5-AG in complication group 1 was higher than that in complication group 2, and the difference was statistically significant (H=210.020, P<0.001). The results of Spearman correlation analysis showed that serum 1, 5-AG level was negatively correlated with FBG, FINS and HOMA-IR in T2DM patients (r=-0.431, -0.372, -0.546, P<0.001). The results of multiple ordered logistic regression analysis showed that Longer duration of diabetes (OR=2.261, 95%CI 1.564-3.269), increased HbA1c (OR=2.040, 95%CI 1.456-2.858), and increased HOMA-IR (OR=2.158, 95%CI 1.484-3.137) and decreased 1, 5-AG (OR=2.512, 95%CI 1.691-3.732) were independent risk factors for microvascular complications in T2DM patients (P<0.05). The results of ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve of serum 1, 5-AG in the identification of one microvascular complication was 0.763 (95%CI 0.731-0.795), and the area under the curve of serum 1, 5-AG in the identification of two or more microvascular complications was 0.730 (95%CI 0.692-0.767). Conclusion: Serum 1, 5-AG level is negatively correlated with insulin resistance in T2DM patients. Low serum 1, 5-AG level may be an independent risk factor for microvascular complications in T2DM patients.
