Context: During insulin-modified frequently sampled iv glucose tolerance tests (IM-FSIGT), which allow assessment of insulin action, plasma glucose can markedly decrease.Objective: This study aimed to assess the counterregulatory impact of the insulin-induced fall of glucose on minimal model-derived indices of insulin sensitivity (SI) and glucose effectiveness.Participants: Thirteen nondiabetic volunteers (seven males, six females, aged 26 +/- 1 yr, body mass index 22.1 +/- 0.7 kg/m(2)) were studied.Design: All participants were studied in random order during IM-FSIGT (0.3 g/kg glucose; 0.03 U/kg insulin at 20 min) and during identical conditions but with a variable glucose infusion preventing a decrease of plasma glucose concentration below euglycemia (IM-FSIGT-CLAMP). Five participants additionally underwent euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic (1 mU(.)kg(-1.)min(-1)) clamp tests.Results: Plasma glucose declined during IM-FSIGT to its nadir of 50 +/- 3 mg/dl at 60 min in parallel to a rise (P < 0.05 vs. basal) of plasma glucagon, cortisol, epinephrine, and GH. Glucose infusion rates of 4.6 +/- 0.5 mg(.)kg(-1.)min(-1) between 30 and 180 min during IM-FSIGT-CLAMP prevented the decline of plasma glucose and the hypoglycemia counterregulatory hormone response. SI was approximately 68% lower during IM-FSIGT (3.40 +/- 0.36 vs. IM-FSIGT-CLAMP: 10.71 +/- 1.06 10(-4.)min(-1) per mu U/ml, P < 0.0001), whereas glucose effectiveness did not differ between both protocols (0.024 +/- 0.002 vs. 0.021 +/- 0.003 min(-1), P = NS). Compared with the euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp test, SI expressed in identical units from IM-FSIGT was approximately 66% (P < 0.001) lower but did not differ between the euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp test and the IM-FSIGT-CLAMP (P = NS).Conclusions: The transient fall of plasma glucose during IM-FSIGT results in lower estimates of SI, which can be explained by hormonal response to hypoglycemia.
