Interactions between insulin resistance and insulin secretion in the development of glucose intolerance

Abstract excerpt

Subjects who develop type 2 diabetes have a complex phenotype with defects in insulin secretion, increased hepatic glucose production, and resistance to the action of insulin, all of which contribute to the development of overt hyperglycemia.
