Abstract
Aims: Insulin resistance (IR) changes over time during the development of type 2 diabetes. Some reports showed that obesity was associated with progression of IR. However, no study has explored if change of IR predicts incident diabetes, and no study has investigated other factors associated with the change. Methods: In this study, 1184 subjects without diabetes at baseline were enrolled in 2006–2016 with a median follow-up period of 4.5 years. Diabetes was diagnosed by oral glucose tolerance test and hemoglobin A1c, or if anti-diabetic agents were used. HOMA2-IR and ISI0,120 were used to estimate IR. Results: The annual changes of HOMA2-IR(ΔHOMA2-IR/year) and ISI0,120(ΔISI0,120/year) were associated with BMI, waist circumference(WC), glucose, HbA1c, triglyceride and HDL-cholesterol. Subjects with pre-diabetes or metabolic syndrome were associated with a more rapid increase of IR. ΔHOMA2-IR/year and ΔISI0,120/year were correlated with annual changes of BMI and WC. The hazard ratios for ΔHOMA2-IR/year and ΔISI0,120/year to predict incident diabetes were 1.39 (95% CI 1.22–1.59, p < 0.001) and 0.13 (95% CI 0.09–0.19, p < 0.001) in adjusted models, respectively. Conclusions: Change of IR can be used as a surrogate marker of incident diabetes. The progression of IR is an important pathophysiologic link between risk factors and the incidence of diabetes.
