2. decreased glucose uptake by muscle tissue

3. increased hepatic glucose output

In addition to these three traditional mechanisms, many other organs and hormones have been found to be involved in the development of the disease, including disorders of lipid metabolism, diminished effects of intestinal proinsulin, and elevated basal glucagon levels. Glucose reabsorption by the kidneys and neurotransmitter dysfunction in the brain are also involved in the pathophysiological process of diabetes, collectively known as the "octet" of diabetes.
