Study finds Type 2 diabetes partly reversible
Tuesday, April 19th, 2011 | By Julia Brownell

diabetes is at least in part an autoimmune disease. Their report,

in the inflammation of the visceral fat that precedes diabetes, and  
controlling them with drugs can actually prevent insulin resistance in  
mice on high-fat diets.
