A toggle for type 2 diabetes?

Article Abstract:

Type 2 diabetes is characterized by a deficit in insulin secretion and efforts are made to understand this mechanism. A novel mechanism that controls cell-surface expression of glucose transporter 2(GLUT-2) is described in which GLUT-2 is lowly expressed because of modification in the structure of GLUT-2-N-glycan that ultimately leads to impaired glucose stimulated insulin secretion.

Normal fasting plasma glucose levels and type 2 diabetes in young men

Article Abstract:

A study is undertaken to discover whether higher fasting plasma glucose levels within the normoglycemic range separately forecast type 2 diabetes in young adults. The results confirm that such a prediction exists and such levels along with body-mass index and triglyceride levels may assist in detecting increased danger of diabetes in ostensibly healthy individuals.
