At the turn of this century 171 million At the turn of this century 171 million individuals were estimated to have diabetes, and individuals were estimated to have diabetes, and this is expected to increase to 366 million by this is expected to increase to 366 million by 2030.2030.

Insulin sensitivity also modulates β-cell function and is Insulin sensitivity also modulates β-cell function and is almost always decreased in obesity. almost always decreased in obesity.
The ability of the β-cell to adapt to changes in insulin The ability of the β-cell to adapt to changes in insulin sensitivity seems to result from two parameters: the sensitivity seems to result from two parameters: the functional responsiveness of the cell and β-cell mass.functional responsiveness of the cell and β-cell mass.
