In the Pima Indians the prevalence has increased from 1% in subjects aged 15 to 24 1979 to 5%, and has also emerged in the 10- to 15-year-olds (1). In addition there has been an increase in African American and Mexican American youth. This increase is also seen in other parts of the world such as Japan, Bangladesh, Libya, and New Zealand (2).

The ultimate effect is the formation of advanced glycosylation end products (AGE). These AGEs can Rationale and Goals for Glucose Control in Diabetes Mellitus and Glucose Monitoring 29 also form in other diseases like renal failure and normal aging. In diabetes mellitus the production and deposition of these products are thought to contribute to the development of the long-term microvascular complications. The AGE formation occurs especially with long half-life proteins like basement membrane. The AGEs bind to receptors and cause changes in signal transduction in macrophages or vascular endothelial cells.
