Non-Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus — A Genetically Programmed Failure of the Beta Cell to Compensate for Insulin Resistance

Polonsky, Kenneth S., Sturis, Jeppe, Bell, Graeme I.·1996·New England Journal of Medicine

Abstract

Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), the commonest form of diabetes, affects approximately 5 percent of the population of the United States. Although the pathophysiology of this condition has not been fully characterized and the nature of the primary defect is controversial, the results of recent studies provide insights into its basic causes. Here, we review these studies and suggest how insulin resistance and genetically programmed pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction may interact in susceptible persons to cause diabetes.Insulin ResistanceInsulin resistance is a diminished ability of insulin to exert its biologic action across a broad range of concentrations. Unless persons with insulin . . .

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
