| Abstract | BACKGROUND AND AIMS: The A1C diagnostic criterion for identifying individuals at increased risk for diabetes, introduced by the American Diabetes Association in 2010, was not defined on the basis of the principal pathophysiological abnormalities responsible for the development and progression of type 2 diabetes; we therefore wished to gain a deeper insight into the metabolic abnormalities characterizing the group of at risk individuals with an A1C value of 5.7-6.4%. METHODS AND RESULTS: As many as 338 non-diabetic offspring of type 2 diabetic patients were consecutively recruited. Insulin secretion was assessed using both indexes derived from oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), and intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT). Insulin sensitivity was measured by hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp. As compared with subjects with A1C <5.7%, individuals with A1C of 5.7-6.4% exhibited lower insulin sensitivity after adjusting for age, gender and body mass index (BMI). Insulin secretion estimated from the OGTT, did not differ between the two groups. By contrast, as compared with subjects with A1C <5.7%, the acute insulin response (AIR) during an IVGTT and both IVGTT-derived and OGTT-derived disposition indexes were reduced in individuals with A1C of 5.7-6.4% after adjusting for age, gender and BMI. As A1C increased to ≥ 5.7%, a sharp decrease in insulin sensitivity and ß-cell function, measured as disposition index, was observed. CONCLUSIONS: Caucasian individuals with A1C ≥ 5.7% exhibit both core pathophysiological defects of type 2 diabetes i.e. insulin resistance and ß-cell dysfunction. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
