Participating Faculty: Type 2 Diabetes and the Evolving Paradigm in Glucose Regulation

This supplement was independently developed by The American Journal of Managed Care and sponsored by Janssen Pharmaceuticals, Inc. with editorial direction.

This supplement to The American Journal of Managed Care provides an overview of the numerous metabolic defects that contribute to the development of hyperglycemia and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). New insights into the pathophysiology of T2DM, and the role of various organs and tissues such as the kidneys in regulating blood sugar, may potentially reveal pathophysiological mechanisms and defects that could be targeted for the insulin-independent pharmaceutical treatment of T2DM.
