Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a heterogeneous syndrome characterized by abnormalities in carbohydrate and fat metabolism. The causes of type 2 diabetes are multi-factorial and include both genetic and environmental elements that affect beta-cell function and tissue (muscle, liver, adipose tissue, pancreas) insulin sensitivity. Although there is considerable debate as to the relative contributions of beta-cell dysfunction and reduced insulin sensitivity to the pathogenesis of diabetes, it is generally agreed that both these factors play important roles.

This situation will deteriorate in the future, with an estimated 726.500 adult citizens with diabetes in 2030.3.350 Swiss citizens die from diabetes every year. This means 9 citizens every day. Type 2 diabetes, accounting for 80-90% of all diabetes in Switzerland, decreases life expectancy by 5-10 years..
