Introduction: We asked if marked OGTT metabolic heterogeneity at screening persists at T1D diagnosis.
Methods: Multiple Ab+ TrialNet Pathway to Prevention participants (n=364) who had diagnostic OGTTs ≥1 yr after screening OGTTs were stratified by median fasting glucose x fasting C-peptide (fgxfp; basic metabolic component of C-peptide HOMA-IR). Glucose and C-peptide response curves (shapes from mean OGTT glucose and C-peptide at 30, 60, 90 and 120 min; GCRCs) were derived from OGTTs at baseline and diagnosis.
Results: The fgxfp group>median (Figure: blue) had much higher baseline AUC C-peptide (p<0.001), indicated by the wider shape and rightward location of their GCRC. They subsequently had upward and leftward GCRC movement from baseline to diagnosis vs. mostly upward movement for the group
