Detailed Description:

Type 2 diabetes is associated with beta cell dysfunction and insulin action at diagnosis of diabetes. Although the relative importance of these two alterations is controversial, growing evidence is swinging to the concept that there is no hyperglycemia without β-cell dysfunction. Also there is agreement that deterioration of glucose tolerance over time is associated with a progressive decrease of beta cell function.

Beside the role of genetic factor, the continuous decline in β-cell function is affected by glucotoxicity generated by hyperglycemia and lipotoxicity due to high fatty acid. A vicious cycle of hyperglycemia per se further impairs and may destroy β-cell. Recently, many reports have shown that early intensive glycemic control plays a role in the prevention of progressive ß-cell function and worsening of diabetes.

Some studies have shown that early intensive insulin therapy(IIT) to achieve near normoglycemia in new onset type 2 diabetes gives short term and long term improvement in glycemic control after discontinuation of insulin. It is suggested that long term glycemic control is associated with improvement of β-cell function.

In our unpublished previous pilot study, we found that early intensive insulin therapy using multiple daily injection (MDI) or daily twice injection in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes can significantly improve the beta cell function and facilitate further long term glycemic control. To establish the effectiveness of intensive insulin therapy for long term glycemic control and improvement of β-cell function, we will perform a randomized controlled prospective study in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes in Korea.
