Abstract
Endothelial dysfunction occurs frequently in persons with diabetes mellitus and is associated with increased cardiovascular risk in longstanding diabetes (1). Thus, assessment of endothelial function has been employed aiming at [...]
Context: Endothelial dysfunction may occur early in the development of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases; however, it remains often underestimated and studies rarely discriminate between diabetes types. We have examined endothelial function and its determinants during the early course of type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Methods: Caucasian participants of the prospective German Diabetes Study (GDS) with known diabetes duration Results: At baseline, neither FMD nor NMD differed between people with diabetes and the matched glucose-tolerant groups. At the 5-year follow-up, decline in FMD (-13.9%, P = .013) of persons with type 2 diabetes was independent of age, sex, and BMI, but associated with baseline adipose tissue insulin resistance and indices of liver fibrosis. The M-value decreased in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes groups by 24% and 15% (both P < .001, respectively) over 5 years. Higher HbA1c, lower M-value, and lower V[O.sub.2] max at baseline was associated with lower FMD in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Conclusion: Endothelial function decreases during the early course of type 2 diabetes. In addition to age and BMI, insulin sensitivity at diagnosis was the best predictor of progressive impairment in endothelial function in type 2 diabetes.
