Lactose intolerance is a medical condition that is characterized by the lactase deficiency, which is the inability to produce or break lactase, or by the inability to digest lactose [
]. Lactase deficiency has been associated with a number of health conditions, including hypertension, hypoglycaemia, and insulin resistance [
,
As with other lactase deficiency diseases, Lactase deficiency has been associated with hypogonadism and impaired glucose metabolism [
Lactase deficiency has also been associated with metabolic syndrome, with symptoms occurring in approximately 5% of men in their 40s and 30% in their 60s [
Lactase deficiency also has a prognostic value, with hypoglycaemia associated with low levels of fasting glucose (i.e., 1.5–4 mmol/L) and lower glucose levels (i.e., 2.5–8 mmol/L) [
Lactase deficiency also appears to be associated with impaired renal function, leading to a decreased excretion of the active form of the enzyme lactase. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of Lactase deficiency on renal function in subjects with and without diabetes mellitus on a long-term follow-up of patients with and without hypoglycaemia. The study was conducted in two parts: part 1 and part 2 of the study. Part 1 was a long-term follow-up study that involved patients with and without hypoglycaemia. Part 2 was a prospective follow-up study that included patients with diabetes mellitus and hypoglycaemia and who were followed for a period of time to determine the effect of Lactase deficiency on renal function. The study was approved by the ethics committee of the University Medical Center in Spain, and all patients provided written informed consent. The study was carried out in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki and Good Clinical Practice guidelines and was approved by the Ethics Committee of the University Medical Center (No. 08-082). The study was conducted in line with the current study’s protocol, and the study protocol has been registered in the ClinicalTrials.gov ().
The study was a prospective, long-term follow-up study in subjects who have had diabetes mellitus and hypoglycaemia before and after a long-term follow-up in their general practice. Patients had to be aged 40 to 70 years (mean age 57.3 years) and had a body mass index (BMI) of 28.8–32.5 kg/m2 and a body weight of 10–15 kg (mean of 6.1 kg/m2). Patients were followed up for a period of 10 years (mean of 7.3 years) after a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus or hypoglycaemia. Exclusion criteria were patients who had not used any form of treatment, were taking multiple doses of insulin or were taking multiple oral contraceptives for a long period of time (for example, in the form of a pill or injection), and those with any other conditions. The exclusion criteria included patients who had received multiple doses of insulin or multiple oral contraceptives. In the present study, the study was conducted under the supervision of a research dermatologist (BJ) and subjects had to meet all the exclusion criteria. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the University Medical Center in Spain, and all participants provided written informed consent.
Subjects were enrolled between January 2017 and May 2019 and were recruited from the general practice (Spain) or by the public service in the community (Italy). They were followed up for 10 years (mean of 7.3 years), using a continuous questionnaire. The questionnaire included the following questions: the Lactase level (a measure of lactase), the diagnosis of hypoglycaemia and the symptoms, including a description of each clinical presentation, including the age of the patient, the age of the first contact with the patient and the presence of a contraindication for the use of any form of Lactase, including lactase deficiency, and a description of the contraindication for the use of lactase, including the use of a lactase-containing diet. The questionnaire was completed by the study team, and all participants provided written informed consent.
Patients who had been treated with insulin for more than 3 months were excluded from the study. Patients with a history of diabetes, who were taking multiple oral contraceptives for a long period of time, were excluded from the study.
