Isolated pancreatic islets exhibited functional responses to glucose and arginine stimulation mirroring donors’ metabolic profiles, with insulin secretion significantly decreasing in diabetic islets compared to non-diabetic islets; conversely, proinsulin secretion showed an increasing trend from non-diabetic to diabetic islets.

Preliminary data on a small sample set (ND = 3; DM = 3) show a clear trend of increased baseline (3 mM glucose) insulin secretion in non-diabetics compared to DM and a response to high glucose + arginine, which is not observed in diabetic subjects ( Figure S3 ).
