Influencing Factors Analysis of the Dynamic Trajectories of Fasting Blood Glucose-Insulin Resistance in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
To explore the long-term dynamic trajectories of fasting blood glucose (FBG) and insulin resistance (IR) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and their influencing factors.
Methods
2
This retrospective cohort study included 1 896 T2DM patients registered at Tongren Hospital from May 2020 to May 2025. Based on longitudinal follow-up data of FBG and fasting insulin, joint latent class mixed models (JLMM) were applied to identify FBG-IR trajectories. Univariate and multinomial logistic regression was used to examine demographic characteristics, lifestyle, and clinical determinants of trajectory type.
Results
2
Four distinct FBG-IR trajectories were identified: stable FBG-IR (9
.76%), rising FBG-stable IR (5.01%), stable FBG-elevated IR (75.90%), and elevated FBG-IR (9.34%). Compared with the stable FBG-IR group, age ≥60 years was protective against the elevated FBG-stable IR trajectory (OR=0.55, 95%CI:0.33-0.92,
P
=0.023). Highereducation increased the risk of stable FBG-elevated IR (OR=1.40, 95%CI:1.01-1.94,
P
=0.046). Abnormal blood pressure was associated with lower risks of stable FBG-elevated IR (OR=0.66, 95%CI:0.48-0.92,
P
=0.013) and elevated FBG-IR (OR=0.48, 95%CI:0.31-0.74,
P
=0.001). Non-drinkers were less likely to belong to the stable FBG-elevated IR trajectory (OR=0.39, 95%CI:0.16-0.95,
P
=0.038).
Conclusions
2
The evolution trajectory of FBG and IR in T2DM patients shows significant heterogeneity. The majority of patients have a deterioration of IR first. Age, education level, blood pressure, and alcohol consumption are the main influencing factors. Joint assessment of FBG and IR is helpful for early identification of high-risk individuals and guiding individualized intervention.
