Detailed Description
India has the world's highest prevalence of diabetes, expected to rise to 80 million by 2030. This includes many patients with Lean Diabetes, which is a form of diabetes identified clinically by early onset, high insulin requirements, absence of other pancreatic disease, and low body mass index (typically ≤17 kg/m2) at presentation. Despite its prevalence, Lean Diabetes remains a relatively unknown disease that stirs conflicting opinions regarding its classification, diagnostic criteria, and pathogenesis.
In this study, the investigators will study individuals meeting the criteria for Lean Diabetes, Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, and two group of participants without diabetes using a procedure called a "pancreatic clamp" study. During the clamp procedure, glucose (a sugar) and insulin (a hormone produced in the pancreas that regulates the amount of glucose in the blood) are infused with an intravenous catheter, and blood samples are collected periodically throughout the procedure to measure blood sugar levels and the levels of several hormones that are found in the body and are related to glucose metabolism. Endogenous glucose production (a measure of the body's production of sugar) will also be measured. Participants will also have a fat biopsy, and will be given a mixed meal challenge which is a test that detects hyperglycemia and glucose intolerance.
The overall goal of this study is to define the metabolic characteristics of individuals with Lean Diabetes and to determine which differences exist compared to individuals with other known forms of diabetes or individuals without diabetes.

Cohorts and Interventions
Group / Cohort |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Lean Diabetes Subjects
N=20 subjects with BMI 16-22.5 kg/m2, with a history of low birth weight and malnutrition documented on at least one occasion.
Will undergo pancreatic clamp.

We are not performing any interventions; we are only characterizing participants using tests.
The hormones that we are administering are not a treatment but are typically used in context of routine care.
Other Names:

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Subjects
N=13 subjects with BMI 22.5-27 kg/m2.
Will undergo pancreatic clamp

Lean Nondiabetic Subjects
N=16 nondiabetic with BMI 16-22.5 kg/m2 subjects 19-45 years of age and in general good health, taking no medications, with normal glucose tolerance and no family history of diabetes.
These subjects will be similar in age, ethnicity and BMI with the lean DM group, and will be recruited through various means of community outreach, including notices in shops and newspapers.
Will undergo pancreatic clamp

|
Obese Nondiabetic Subjects
N=9 nondiabetic with BMI 16-22.5 kg/m2 subjects 19-45 years of age and in general good health, taking no medications, with normal glucose tolerance and no family history of diabetes.
These subjects will be similar in age, ethnicity and BMI with the Type 2 diabetes Mellitus group, and will be recruited through various means of community outreach, including notices in shops and newspapers.
Will undergo pancreatic clamp
