Abstract
It is not very often that I am asked to lecture about the pathogenesis of NIDDM, and I even imagine that many of my distinguished colleagues assume that I don’t have an original opinion on the matter. I felt therefore very privileged to be asked to present my views on NIDDM in this Symposium honoring Professor Rolf Luft.
