Abstract
It is generally accepted that genetic factors play a decisive role in the development of non-insulin dependent diabetes (NIDDM). Accordingly, the manifest disease develops gradually from a genetically determined initial stage, prediabetes, over a stage characterized by a decrease in glucose tolerance only. This process might be slow or rapid, possibly dependent on the type and ‘weight’ of the genetic trait as well as on factors precipitating the disease.
