Insulin sensitivity and vascular disease in insulin-dependent diabetics.

Abstract: The presence of atherosclerosis in non-diabetic individuals has been shown to be associated with a decrease in the hypOglycaemic effect of insulin (Waddell and Field, 1960; Wablberg, 1966). Similar studies have not been reported in patients with proved diabetes mellitus. We describe here a positive relation between insulin insensitivity and the severity of clinical vascular disease, both atherosclerotic and microangiopathic, In Insulin-dependent diabetics of long duration.

“…A significant association between the presence of clinical vascular disease and a reduced hypoglycaemic effect of intravenous insulin has been reported previously in a group of longterm insulin-dependent diabetics (Martin and Stocks, 1968). We report here a similar association in maturity-onset nonketotic diabetics not receiving insulin.…”

“…In addition, ϳ33% of patients without nephropathy or with good glycemic control met the diagnostic criteria. Given the strong association between metabolic syndrome and vascular complications in patients with diabetes (1,4,(22)(23)(24), these statistics are a matter of concern. The overall prevalence of the metabolic syndrome in FinnDiane patients (39%) was approximately three times that seen in nondiabetic subjects in the Finnish population but lower than that observed in patients with type 2 diabetes (78 -84%) (1,2).…”

“…Certainly, in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, the role of insulin resistance seems to be equally important as a cardiovascular risk factor (22)(23)(24)26). Insulin resistance has also been implicated in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy (17).…”
