  • Effects of Low-Dose Prednisolone on Hepatic and Peripheral Insulin Sensitivity, Insulin Secretion, and Abdominal Adiposity in Patients With Inflammatory Rheumatologic Disease
    OBJECTIVESThe metabolic effects of low-dose prednisolone and optimal management of glucocorticoid-induced diabetes are poorly characterized. The aims were to investigate the acute effects of low-dose prednisolone on carbohydrate metabolism and whether long-term low-dose prednisolone administration increases visceral adiposity, amplifying metabolic perturbations.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSSubjects with inflammatory rheumatologic disease without diabetes mellitus were recruited. Nine subjects (age, 59 ± 11 years) not using oral glucocorticoids were studied before and after a 7- to 10-day course of oral prednisolone 6 mg daily. Baseline data were compared with 12 subjects (age, 61 ± 8 years) using continuous long-term prednisolone (6.3 ± 2.2 mg/day). Basal endogenous glucose production (EGP) was estimated by 6,6-2H2 glucose infusion, insulin sensitivity was estimated by two-step hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp, insulin secretion was estimated by intravenous glucose tolerance test, and adipose tissue areas were estimated by computed tomography.RESULTSPrednisolone acutely increased basal EGP (2.44 ± 0.46 to 2.65 ± 0.35 mg/min/kg; P = 0.05) and reduced insulin suppression of EGP (79 ± 7 to 67 ± 14%; P = 0.03), peripheral glucose disposal (8.2 ± 2.4 to 7.0 ± 1.6 mg/kg/min; P = 0.01), and first-phase (5.9 ± 2.0 to 3.9 ± 1.6 mU/mmol; P = 0.01) and second-phase (4.6 ± 1.7 to 3.6 ± 1.4 mU/mmol; P = 0.02) insulin secretion. Long-term prednisolone users had attenuated insulin suppression of EGP (66 ± 14 vs. 79 ± 7%; P = 0.03) and nonoxidative glucose disposal (44 ± 24 vs. 62 ± 8%; P = 0.02) compared with nonglucocorticoid users, whereas basal EGP, insulin secretion, and adipose tissue areas were not significantly different.CONCLUSIONLow-dose prednisolone acutely perturbs all aspects of carbohydrate metabolism. Long-term low-dose prednisolone induces hepatic insulin resistance and reduces peripheral nonoxidative glucose disposal. We conclude that hepatic and peripheral insulin sensitivity should be targeted by glucose-lowering therapy for glucocorticoid-induced diabetes.

Diabetes Symptoms and Myths

 

Nowadays, many people from all around the world suffer from diabetes. There are many causes that may induce diabetes. Scientists are constantly searching to determine the causality report between factors that can induce diabetes and the disease appearance.

 

There are 2 types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is encountered among people who can't produce enough insulin. Type 2 diabetes consists of the inability of the human body to process the adequate level of insulin that is produced. Genetics is very important when it comes to type 2 diabetes. If someone in your family has or had diabetes, the chances are you may have diabetes in the future. This is why type 2 diabetes may be considered as a genetic disease.

 

Unfortunately, there are many people who do not know they suffer from diabetes. Symptoms like vision problems, numbness of the extremities, extreme hunger or thirst and others are overlooked by many. If treated in time, you can avoid serious complications that diabetes may induce.

 

Unfortunately, type 2 diabetes may be encountered even among people that have a healthy life. Even if you are exercising on a regular basis or eating proper meals, you may end up with diabetes because this disease is most likely a genetic one. This means that if you have someone who have or had diabetes in your family history, you are at risk. Be aware of the symptoms presented above and go to a doctor if you experience them.

 

Myths about type 2 diabetes

 

As we saw before, there are several symptoms you should be aware of when it comes to type 2 diabetes. Also, there are many myths circulating all around the world that are busted by nowadays scientists. These myths are usually about what causes type 2 diabetes and are well known being a part of the popular belief.

 

a) Men are most likely to become diabetics

 

The truth is that there is no actual difference between the chances of a woman to have diabetes and the chances of a man to have it.

 

b) Stress causes diabetes

 

When it comes to diabetes, stress can't be a factor. Even if it is true that stress may induce other disease, diabetes is not one of them. However, it can worsen the symptoms of diabetes.

 

c) Consuming a lot of sugar causes diabetes

 

The excess of sugar consumption is not a cause of diabetes. In general, diabetes may be caused by obesity. This may be a result of consuming too much sugar but a direct causality report was not established between sugar and diabetes.
