Despite recent
advances in treatment options for type 2 diabetes (T2DM), the prevalence of
T2DM continues to increase throughout the world.
A healthy
lifestyle is a key factor in both treatment and prevention of T2DM. A healthy lifestyle
cannot be established without self-management ability. Better
understanding of the pathogenesis of T2DM will improve self-management ability.
T2DM is characterized
by insulin resistance and beta cell dysfunction, which result in insufficient
insulin action, leading to chronic hyperglycemia.
