Beneficial Importance of Protein-rich Diets in the Management of Type 2 Diabetes: Need for a New Look | Buiomedgrid

The primary underlying mechanism of the development of type 2 diabetes is peripheral tissues' resistance to the metabolic actions of insulin, with obesity as a major contributor. Of importance is liver insulin resistance which provokes uncontrollable, ongoing gluconeogenesis as primary contributor of the systemic hyperglycinemia characterized with type 2 diabetes [1]. A secondary contributor is the defective glucose uptake by the skeletal muscles and adipose tissue. The combination of these two factors underlie the pathophysiology of the condition.
