Reduced beta cell number rather than size is a major contributor to beta cell loss in type 2 diabetes

Conclusions/interpretationBoth beta cell size and number were reduced in participants with type 2 diabetes, with the relative reduction in beta cell number being greater. Decrease in beta cell number appears to be a major contributor to reduced BCM in type 2 diabetes.Graphical abstract
