Stephen Brunton. J Fam Pract. 2016 Apr.

Abstract

This review article explores scientists' current understanding of type 2 diabetes as a complex disorder that involves not just the pancreas and insulin system but also the liver, kidneys, gut, muscle, fat cells, and even the brain. An appreciation of the complex pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes allows the primary care practitioner to best manage patients with this common and serious disorder.
