Abstract:
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic progressing disease.In some recent studies,hyper glycemic patients get fine control of blood glucose without any hypoglycemic agents after a period of treatment.These results suggest the possibility of remission of islet β-cell function,at least in some diabetic patients.Restoration of β-cell function brings a new hope in the treatment for type 2 diabetes mellitus.
