Gestational diabetes mellitus T2DM From insulin resistance to T2DM • insulin sensitivity changes (= insulin resistance) in many situations • physiologically in pregnancy • pathologically in obesity, inflammation etc. • should increasing insulin resistance always lead to compensatory increase of insulin secretion than glycaemia would stay stable • however capacity to compensatory increase secretion of insulin by beta-cells is apparently limited • main pathophysiologic feature of T2DM is an imbalance between insulin secretion and its effect • in the time of clinical manifestation there are both insulin resistance and impairment of insulin secretion • what is “chicken” and what is “egg”?? • see later T2DM genetics What determines insulin resistance and/or insulin secretion? • insulin resistance • genetic predisposition (polygenic) – thrifty genotype/phenotype • acquired factors • diet – high fat/low fiber • competition of Gls with NEFA!!! • obesity – 90% T2DM are obese • effect of adipokines from adipose tissue (visceral!) • low-grade inflammation • lipid spillover – competition with Glc • several other mechaisms • physical inactivity -  mobilization of GLUT4 • down-regulation of ins. receptor due to hyperinsulinemia • impairment of insulin secretion • inherited factors - genetics • fewer B-cells (~20-40%) • defect of 1. phase of Ins secretion (~80% reduction) • acquired factors • – gluco- and lipotoxicity for B-cells Metabolic syndrome – a unifying effect of obesity Genetics of T2DM • Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified over 400 genetic signals that are associated with altered risk of T2DM.
