Progressive beta cell failure in type 2 diabetes mellitus of youth

Neslihan Gungor et al. J Pediatr. 2004 May.

Abstract

The pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) involves insulin resistance and insulin deficiency. We report the progression in insulin sensitivity and secretion over a 6-year period in an adolescent with T2DM. This report further demonstrates that the earliest abnormality in youth T2DM is insulin resistance followed by progressive beta-cell failure.
