Beta-cell function in juvenile diabetes and obesity (Beta-JUDO)

Start date: Feb 1, 2012, End date: Nov 30, 2016,

The number of individuals with obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is increasing. An alarming aspect is decline in age of onset of T2DM, which is coupled to rise in childhood obesity. Accentuated insulin secretion is observed early in young obese individuals. In many subjects insulin hypersecretion is evident when insulin sensitivity is essentially normal. Based on these observations we pr ...
