| Interestingly, women who have given birth to a baby weighing more than 9 pounds are at increased risk, as are women who have had diabetes during pregnancy (gestational diabetes). The first step towards Type 2 diabetes is insulin resistance, a condition in which the key target tissues for insulin (muscle and fat) do not respond normally to that hormone. In some of these conditions insulin resistance has been shown to be an independent risk factor contributing to the disease and its complications. The symptoms of NIDDM develop gradually and are not as noticeable as those of IDDM. Due to these complications, the life expectancy of a diabetic is 30-50% less than for a non-diabetic person from the time he or she is diagnosed. Dr. Bell first tested C-peptide levels and chose only those who had normal levels. |
