Objectives. To compare the level of insulin resistance and β-cell function between lean and overweight/obese Filipino patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methodology. This was a cross-sectional analytical study including newly diagnosed T2DM Filipino patients from St. Luke’s Medical Center - Quezon City. The patients were classified as either lean or overweight/obese. Age, sex, smoking history, anthropometric measures and blood pressure were obtained. Insulin resistance and β-cell function were determined using the homeostasis model assessment (HOMA). The original model (HOMA1) and the updated model (HOMA2) were used.
Results. A total of 80 subjects were included. There were 40 subjects in each group. The overweight/obese subjects had significantly higher mean insulin resistance (HOMA1-IR 9.8±11.7, HOMA2-IR 3.0±2.0) compared to the lean group (HOMA1-IR 2.9±1.5, HOMA2-IR 1.3±0.5). This was consistent in both HOMA1 and HOMA2 (p-values=0.001 and p-value=0.003), but not in HOMA2 (lean=57.6±30.5, overweight/obese=74.8±45.7, p-value=0.051). Overweight/obesity increased HOMA1-IR by 4.0 and HOMA1-B by 46.1 (p-values= 0.002 and p-valuesp-value=0.005; HOMA2-IR adjOR=10.9, 95%CI=3.4-34.9, p-valuep-value=0.033; HOMA2-B adjOR=0.2, 95%CI=0.04-0.9, p-value=0.043) compared to being lean.
Conclusion. Newly diagnosed overweight/obese T2DM had higher mean insulin resistance and β-cell function compared to lean T2DM. Overweight/obesity was also associated with higher odds of developing insulin resistance and lower odds for a decreased β-cell function compared to being lean. The overweight/obese T2DM group also had worse metabolic profile manifested by higher FPG, HbA1c, SGPT and blood pressures compared to the lean T2DM group.
