It has long been assumed that type 2 diabetes is caused by the combined effects of insulin resistance and loss of pancreatic islet beta cells. Much therapeutic effort has been directed towards decreasing insulin resistance even though results have been generally disappointing. Now that type 2 diabetes can be understood as a simple reversible condition, its component parts can be examined during the period of return to normal glucose tolerance.
长期以来，人们一直认为2型糖尿病是由胰岛素抵抗和胰岛β细胞丧失的综合作用引起的。尽管结果通常令人失望，但许多治疗工作都致力于降低胰岛素抵抗。既然2型糖尿病可以被理解为一种简单的可逆病症，那么在恢复正常糖耐量的期间就可以对其组成部分进行检查。
