Aims/hypothesis. A reduced first-phase insulin response to intravenous glucose is perceived as a sign of far-advanced deterioration of beta-cell function during the development of Type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus, but data on insulin responses at the onset of diabetes-related autoimmunity are lacking. We studied the first-phase insulin responses of small children soon after observed seroconversion to autoantibody positivity.Methods. In the Type I Diabetes Prediction and Prevention Study newborn infants are screened for HLA-DQB1-associated genetic risk for Type I diabetes and those with increased risk are followed-up for the emergence of islet-cell antibodies. If antibodies are detected, autoantibodies to three other antigens (insulin, GAD65 and IA-2) are also measured. To measure first-phase insulin responses, intravenous glucose tolerance tests were carried out in 52 (1 to 5-year-old) children who had recently seroconverted to islet-cell antibody positivity.Results. The first-phase insulin response was subnormal (
