Description
Unai Galicia-Garcia and co-authors explained in 2020 how type 2 diabetes develops and takes hold in the body. This common metabolic disorder rests on two linked failures. The pancreas releases too little insulin from its beta cells, and tissues such as muscle and liver stop answering insulin's signal properly.
The review follows the damage that follows from that double failure, organ by organ and pathway by pathway. It covers the roles of genes, weight, fat tissue, and chronic low grade inflammation in driving the process. It also explains why blood sugar control alone does not capture the whole disease. For students and clinicians, the account ties everyday facts about diabetes to the cell level machinery beneath them.
