Clinical Presentation of Type 2 Diabetes 1
Risk Factors for Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes Family history of diabetes mellitus Cardiovascular disease Being overweight or obese Sedentary lifestyle Nonwhite ancestry Previously identified impaired glucose tolerance, impaired fasting glucose, and/or metabolic syndrome Hypertension Increased levels of triglycerides, low concentrations of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, or both History of gestational diabetes mellitus Delivery of a baby weighing more than 4 kg (9 lb) Polycystic ovary syndrome Antipsychotic therapy for schizophrenia and/or severe bipolar disease 2 Handelsman Y, et al. Endocr Pract. 2011;17(suppl 2):1-53.
Development of Type 2 Diabetes Depends on Interplay Between Insulin Resistance and β-Cell Dysfunction Insulin resistance Abnormal β -Cell Function Relative insulin deficiency 3 Gerich JE. Mayo Clin Proc. 2003;78: Type 2 diabetes Normal β -Cell Function Compensatory hyperinsulinemia No diabetes Genes & environment
Etiology of β-cell Dysfunction Poitout V, Robertson RP. Endocrine Rev. 2008;29: Genetic predisposition Lean phenotype Obese phenotype IGT, IFGElevated FFA Oxidative stress and glucotoxicity Cellular lipid synthesis and glucolipotoxicity Progressive -cell failure and type 2 diabetes Initial glucolipoadaptation (increased FFA usage) Hyperglycemia Glucolipotoxicity and glucotoxicity
NGT=normal glucose tolerance; IGT=impaired glucose tolerance; EMBS=estimated metabolic body size. Weyer C et al. J Clin Invest. 1999;104: Progression to Type 2 Diabetes: “Falling Off the Curve” Glucose disposal (insulin sensitivity) (mg/kg EMBS/min) Acute insulin response ( U/mL) DIA IGT NGT Progressors NGT Nonprogressors

Summary: Hyperglycemia in Type 2 Diabetes Hyperglycemia results from the combination of –Pancreatic -cell dysfunction, resulting in impaired insulin secretion –Increased hepatic glucose production due to excessive glucagon –Decreased peripheral glucose uptake due to insulin resistance 15 Handelsman Y, et al.
