ISLAMABAD, OCT 16 (ONLINE): Type 2 diabetes is a chronic disorder marked by high blood glucose levels. This could be due either to insufficient insulin levels, insulin resistance, or both factors.<\/p>\n
Research shared at the 2023 Annual Meeting of The European Association for the Study of Diabetes in Hamburg, Germany suggests that it might be easier to track early type 2 diabetes development in some individuals.
\nThe insights, also published in Diabetes Therapy, came from an analysis based on data from the Diabetes Alliance for Research in England (DARE) study.<\/p>\n
Study first author Dr. Adrian Heald of Manchester University, United Kingdom said in a press release: \u201cThese findings hint at the potential for type 2 diabetes to be diagnosed earlier, and we hope that the distinct clinical trajectory could become a predictive tool for people at risk of the disease.\u201d<\/p>\n
Discovering the natural course of type 2 diabetes
\nType 2 diabetes often develops alongside other conditions. The present study sifted through pre- and post-type 2 diabetes diagnosis clinical histories for further insights into causes and trajectories for related health conditions.<\/p>\n
Dr. Heald and his team said \u201c[t]he main goal of this study was to detect any temporal continuums of comorbidity or clinical indications which predate the onset of diabetes and to document the important health difficulties in persons on a time continuum spanning from before and after a clinical diagnosis of type 2 diabetes.\u201d<\/p>\n
The researchers say that the set of causes behind type 2 diabetes are yet undetermined, but onset is \u201cclearly linked to chronic overweight and obesity and a sedentary lifestyle.\u201d<\/p>\n
The causal link associations between type 2 diabetes and multimorbidity \u2014 several coexisting health conditions \u2014 remain unknown as well.
\nPrevious studies suggest that environmental variables, including lack of physical activity and access to healthy foods, may promote the disease\u2019s emergence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
