Type 2 diabetes mellitus is caused by insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency

Recorded sources
4 sources for · 0 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus is primarily driven by a combination of peripheral insulin resistance and progressive pancreatic beta-cell dysfunction leading to relative insulin deficiency.

The analysis

The retrieved papers consistently confirm that type 2 diabetes mellitus results from a combination of insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion (relative insulin deficiency). Multiple reviews and pathophysiology studies explicitly support this foundational endocrinology consensus.
