The conclusion between Connecting peptide (C-peptide) and diabetic chronic complication was controversial. The purpose of this study is to explore the possible association between average C-peptide with diabetic retinopathy (DR) progression in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes.
This is a retro-prospective study. 622 patients with type 2 diabetes were included. DR was evaluated using non-mydriatic fundus photography and DR progression was defined as any deterioration of either eye. Fasting and postprandial c-peptide levels were assayed at baseline and follow-up period. Differences between continuous variables were compared using the Mann-Whitney U test; and categorical variables were analyzed by the chi-square test. Correlation between parameters and 30-minute postprandial C-peptide were determined by Spearman correlation test. The relationship between C-peptide and DR progression was evaluated by multivariable binary logistic regression. Two-tailed P-values < 0.05 were regarded as statistically significant.
DR was present in 162 (26.0%) patients at baseline, and 26.4% of patients were found progression of DR at follow-up. Patients with progression of DR had lower average levels of 30-minute postprandial C-peptide (2.01 ng/ml vs. 2.6 ng/ml, p = 0.015) and 120-minute postprandial C-peptide (3.17 ng/ml vs. 3.92 ng/ml, p < 0.029), as well as average increment of 30-minute (0.41 ng/ml vs. 0.64 ng/ml, p = 0.015) and 120-minute postprandial C-peptide (1.48 ng/ml vs. 1.93 ng/ml, p < 0.017), than those without DR aggravation. Multivariate logistic regression analysis determined that 30-minute postprandial C-peptide and its increment were related to reduced odds ratios for DR progression (odds ratios [OR] = 0.83 and 0.74, respectively).
Our results suggest that the Average 30-minute post-prandial C-peptide and increment were negatively correlated with DR progression, which further demonstrates the importance to preserve β-cell residual function in the prevention for DR progression.

连接肽(C 肽)与糖尿病慢性并发症之间的关系存在争议。本研究旨在探讨中国 2 型糖尿病患者平均 C 肽与糖尿病视网膜病变(DR)进展之间的可能关联。
这是一项回顾性前瞻性研究。纳入 622 例 2 型糖尿病患者。使用非散瞳眼底摄影评估 DR,将任何一只眼的病情恶化定义为 DR 进展。在基线和随访期间检测空腹和餐后 C 肽水平。采用 Mann-Whitney U 检验比较连续变量之间的差异;采用卡方检验分析分类变量。采用 Spearman 相关检验确定参数与餐后 30 分钟 C 肽之间的相关性。采用多变量二项逻辑回归评估 C 肽与 DR 进展的关系。双侧 P 值<0.05 被认为具有统计学意义。
基线时,162 例(26.0%)患者存在 DR,随访时,26.4%的患者出现 DR 进展。DR 进展患者的餐后 30 分钟 C 肽(2.01ng/ml 比 2.6ng/ml,p=0.015)和 120 分钟 C 肽(3.17ng/ml 比 3.92ng/ml,p<0.029)平均水平较低,以及餐后 30 分钟(0.41ng/ml 比 0.64ng/ml,p=0.015)和 120 分钟 C 肽(1.48ng/ml 比 1.93ng/ml,p<0.017)的平均增量也较低。多变量逻辑回归分析确定,餐后 30 分钟 C 肽及其增量与 DR 进展的降低比值有关(比值比[OR]分别为 0.83 和 0.74)。
我们的结果表明,平均餐后 30 分钟 C 肽及其增量与 DR 进展呈负相关,进一步证明了在预防 DR 进展中保留β细胞残余功能的重要性。
