Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Conditions
Brief summary
Impaired uptake of glucose by skeletal muscle is a key feature of type 2 diabetes mellitus. It is unclear to what extent impaired insulin uptake from capillaries into skeletal muscle interstitium plays a role in this process. We hypothesize that impaired uptake of insulin from capillaries into skeletal muscle interstitium is involved in impaired glucose uptake by skeletal muscle in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Fore-arm insulin uptake measured as ([A]-[V]) x F in pmol/min where A = arterial insulin concentrations, V= venous insulin concentrations, F = fore arm plasma flow; | Baseline | During a single measure (thus cross-sectional) the primary endpoint will be measured. |
