The pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus involves abnormalities in insulin action, insulin secretion and endogenous glucose output. However, the sequence of phenomena leading to the development and progression of abnormalities in glucose metabolism in obese people still remains uncertain. This paper presents the stages of natural history of type 2 diabetes and confirms necessity of multifactorial and individualized treatment of hyperglycaemia.
