Insulin and glucagon secretion are suppressed equally during both hyper- and euglycemia by moderate hyperinsulinemia in patients with diabetes mellitus.

Hyper- and euglycemic clamp studies were performed in patients with noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus to examine the effects of exogenous insulin administration on insulin and glucagon secretion. Plasma glucose was kept at the fasting level [mean, 10.0 +/- 0.2 (+/- SE) mmol/L; hyperglycemic clamp], and graded doses of insulin (1, 3, and 10 mU/kg.min, each for 50 min) were infused. The plasma C-peptide level gradually decreased from 523 +/- 66 to 291 +/- 43 pmol/L (n = 13; P less than 0.005) by the end of the hyperglycemic clamp study. After 90 min of equilibration with euglycemia (5.4 +/- 0.1 mmol/L; euglycemic clamp), the same insulin infusion protocol caused a similar decrease in the plasma C-peptide level. With the same glucose clamp protocol, physiological hyperinsulinemia for 150 min (676 +/- 40 pmol/L), obtained by the infusion of 2 mU/kg.min insulin, caused suppression of the plasma C-peptide level from 536 +/- 119 to 273 +/- 65 pmol/L during hyperglycemia and from 268 +/- 41 to 151 +/- 23 pmol/L during euglycemia (n = 9; P less than 0.005 in each clamp). Plasma glucagon was suppressed to a similar degree in both glycemic states. These results demonstrate that 1) insulin secretion in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus is suppressed by high physiological doses of exogenous insulin in both the hyper- and euglycemic states, the degree of inhibition being independent of the plasma glucose level; and 2) glucagon secretion is also inhibited by such doses of exogenous insulin.
