Diabetes: A signal for 
-cell failure
Joseph Avruch1
Human type 2 diabetes is almost always accompanied by defects in both the responsiveness to insulin (which is commonly called insulin resistance) and the secretion of insulin. The result is hyperglycaemia — an excess of glucose in the bloodstream.
- Joseph Avruch is in the Diabetes Unit, Department of Medicine, and the Department of Molecular Biology, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, 50 Blossom Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02114, USA.
