title: Type 2 diabetes. Primary vascular disorder with metabolic symptoms?
abstract: It is postulated that in the resting state insulin-dependent tissue uptake of glucose is limited by the rate of blood flow, capillary permeability, and the number of perfused capillaries in the skeletal muscles. A mathematical model, simulating these relations, is developed. According to this model, changes in the indicated parameters might cause type 2 diabetes.
