AIM: The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between whole-body insulin-mediated glucose disposal and the fasting plasma glucose concentration in nondiabetic individuals. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Two hundred fifty-three nondiabetic subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT), impaired fasting glucose (IFG), impaired glucose tolerance, and combined glucose intolerance received a 75-g oral glucose tolerance test and euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp. Total glucose disposal (TGD) during the insulin clamp was compared in IFG and NGT individuals and was related to fasting and 2-hour plasma glucose concentrations in each group. RESULTS: TGD varied considerably between NGT and IFG individuals and displayed a strong inverse relationship with the 2-hour plasma glucose (PG; r = 0.40, P < .0001) but not with the fasting PG. When IFG and NGT individuals were stratified based on their 2-hour PG concentration, the increase in 2-hour PG was associated with a progressive decrease in TGD in both groups, and the TGD was comparable among NGT and IFG individuals. CONCLUSION: The present results indicate the following: 1) as in NGT, insulin-stimulated TGD varies considerably in IFG individuals; 2) the large variability in TGD in IFG and NGT individuals is related to the 2-hour PG concentration; and 3) after adjustment for the 2-hour proglucagon concentration, IFG subjects have comparable TGD with NGT individuals.
