Glucose tolerance decreases with age. For determining the cause of this decrease, 67 elderly and 21 young (70.1 +/- 0.7 vs. 23.7 +/- 0.8 years) participants ingested a mixed meal and received an intravenous injection of glucose. Fasting glucose and the glycemic response above basal were higher in the elderly than in the young participants after either meal ingestion (P < 0.001) or glucose injection (P < 0.01). Insulin action (Si), measured with the meal and intravenous glucose tolerance test…

Pathogenesis of Pre-Diabetes

It is concluded that postprandial hyperglycemia in individuals with early diabetes is due to lower rates of glucose disappearance rather than increased meal appearance or impaired suppression of EGP, regardless of their fasting glucose.
Decrease in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion with aging is independent of insulin action.

It is suggested that prolonged hyperglycemic stimulation can be a tool to identify functional defects in insulin secretion, particularly in the context of the hyperbolic relationship with insulin action, in elderly subjects or those at risk for type 2 diabetes.
Effects of Nonglucose Nutrients on Insulin Secretion and Action in People With Pre-Diabetes
- Medicine, BiologyDiabetes
- 2007
Whereas glucose-induced insulin secretion is impaired in people with abnormal glucose tolerance, nonglucose nutrient–induced secretion is intact, suggesting that a glucose-specific defect in the insulin secretory pathway is an early event in the evolution of type 2 diabetes.
Effect of Aging on Glucose Homeostasis
- MedicineDiabetes Care
- 2008
Insulin secretion normally decreases at a rate of ∼0.7% per year with aging; this decrease in β-cell function is accelerated about two-fold in people with impaired glucose tolerance—first phase to a greater extent than second phase; aging per se has no effect on insulin sensitivity independent of changes in body composition.

The results suggest that age is not a critical determinant of insulin sensitivity, while fasting insulin and C-peptide levels, OGTT 2-hour glucose level, and Matsuda index are predictable markers of insulinensitivity in healthy Koreans.

It is concluded that age-related glucose intolerance develops despite slowed glucose absorption and is characterized by delays in the initial rise in insulin levels, the suppression of HGO, and the rise in peripheral glucose uptake, which is predominantly the result of impaired peripheral glucose utilization.

In conclusion, under the present experimental conditions, employing intravenous glucose and/or insulin, impaired tissue sensitivity to insulin is the primary factor responsible for the decrease in glucose tolerance observed with advancing age.
