Résumé
This article raises interesting concepts about the multifaceted nature of diabetes. This thought provoking review describes diabetes as a communicable disease. Collating well documented evidence, it suggests that diabetes may be a transmissible condition. The authors propose four routes of transmission of diabetes: spread by example, by the ear, the environment, and by "evolution".
