Brief Summary
This is a phase IV study of 3.5 years duration to evaluate the phenotypic and genetic
correlates of diabetes (non-Type 1 in young non-obese Asian Indians in North India and pilot
case control study to evaluate the efficacy of sitagliptin (DPP-4 inhibitor) in a sub-group
of the study population.
Detailed Description
A phase IV on T2DM with BMI < 25 kg/m2 and age 14-40 years.

Primary Objectives:

- To investigate phenotype (body composition, anthropometry, pancreatic imaging and
endocrine function, insulin resistance, autoantibodies, and other biochemical
variables) and genetic (known mutations and polymorphisms) correlates in young (age
14-40 years) diabetic patients (non-type 1).

Secondary Objectives:

- To study anthropometric and body fat distribution including truncal fat, subcutaneous
and intra-abdominal fat in non-obese young patients with diabetes (non-type 1).

- To study whether insulin secretion, insulin resistance or a combination of both is/are
the predominant defect(s) in non-obese young diabetics (non-type 1).

- To study the prevalence of autoimmunity and/or specific genetic abnormalities in this
subgroup of diabetics.

- To estimate approximate prevalence of diagnostic subcategories based on the sample of
population, and profile of complications in each category.

- To propose rational use of specialized investigations (e.g. GAD65, HNF-1α mutations
etc) while investigating a newly diagnosed young diabetic.

- To determine the rational therapeutic option and prognosis in this sub-population of
diabetics based on anthropometric, biochemical, and etiological profiles.

- Sample size: 205 patients to be enrolled and 120 patients to be enrolled for sub group
study
