Patients With Diabetes

Before a patient develops overt type 2 diabetes mellitus, there is typically a prolonged period of patho-physiological change. In the common form of type 2 diabetes mellitus, there are years of insulin resistance, initially compensated by increased beta cell function, then impaired glucose tolerance develops, and finally type 2 diabetes. We know from studies such as the United Kingdom Prospective Diabetes Study (UKPDS) and the Belfast study that loss of beta cell function and insulin resistance are usually relentless.1, 2 Thus, therapy to reduce blood glucose has to be gradually increased with time for patients with diabetes. What is less well known is that every person has a different slope for beta cell function loss which intersects with insulin resistance.
