Popis: Diabetes mellitus is a heterogeneous and complex metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia secondary to either resistance to insulin actions on the liver and peripheral tissues, insufficient insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells, or both. An integrated balance between blood insulin levels and whole-body insulin sensitivity could theoretically provide the clinical effectiveness of insulin action. Peripheral blood insulin concentrations might be determined by the capacity of endogenous pancreatic β-cell insulin secretion and the degree of the whole body insulin clearance. Here, we report a non-obese normoinsulinemic Japanese diabetic patient with elevated insulin clearance assessed by a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp examination and increased insulin secretion measured by daily urinary excretion of C-peptide immunoreactivity. We propose this unique pathogenic condition of diabetes with normoinsulinemia and elevated insulin clearance as “type 2 Japanese diabetes mellitus (T2JDM).”
