Type 2 diabetes is a systemic disorder characterized by metabolic impairment in multiple organs1 . Various factors trigger insulin resistance in muscle, liver and adipose tissue resulting in increased insulin demand and de-repression of hepatic gluconeogenesis. When pancreatic β cells fail to compensate their mass and function to the increased insulin demand, β cell apoptosis and dedifferentiation occurs which leads to hyperglycemia.
