Normal regulation of glucose metabolism is determined by a feedback loop involving the islet β-cell and insulin-sensitive tissues in which tissue sensitivity to insulin determines the magnitude of the β-cell response. When insulin resistance is present, the β-cell maintains normal glucose tolerance by increasing insulin output. It is only when the β-cell is incapable of releasing sufficient insulin in the presence of insulin resistance that glucose levels rise. While β-cell dysfunction has a clear genetic component, environmental changes play a vital role. Modern approaches have also informed regarding the importance of hexoses, amino acids and fatty acids in determining insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction as well as the potential role of alterations in the microbiome. A number of new treatment approaches have been developed, but more effective therapies that slow the progressive loss of β-cell function are needed. Recent clinical trials have provided important information regarding approaches to prevent and treat type 2 diabetes as well as some of the adverse effects of these interventions. However, additional long-term studies of medications and bariatric surgery are required in order to identify novel approaches to prevention and treatment, thereby reducing the deleterious impact of type 2 diabetes.
