A type of diabetes mellitus that is characterized by insulin resistance or desensitization and increased blood glucose levels. This is a chronic disease that can develop gradually over the life of a patient and can be linked to both environmental factors and heredity.
Type 2 diabetes is a disease in which your blood glucose, or blood sugar, levels are too high. Glucose is your main source of energy. It comes from the foods you eat. A hormone called insulin helps the glucose get into your cells to give them energy. If you have diabetes, your body doesn't make enough insulin or doesn't use insulin well. The glucose then stays in your blood and not enough goes into your cells.
Over time, having too much glucose in your blood can cause health problems. But you can take steps to manage your diabetes and try to prevent these health problems.
What causes type 2 diabetes?
From MedlinePlus: Diabetes Type 2 (US National Library of Medicine) ↗
🩸 Diabetes and metabolism: In diabetes the body cannot make enough insulin, or cannot use it well, so sugar (glucose) stays too high in the blood instead of feeding the body's cells.
General information about diabetes and metabolism, reviewed by people; it does not describe any one person. Below: the evidence for type 2 diabetes mellitus itself.
AI reads the targets, drugs, trials and papers below and writes where the science stands — every claim cited. It is shared with everyone who opens type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Green labels: what the target is known to be druggable by. The score combines genetics, somatic mutations, drugs, expression and literature.
AI Cure shows public evidence (Open Targets, ClinicalTrials.gov, PubMed, openFDA, DepMap, AlphaFold) with its source, and AI summaries that cite it — not medical advice and not a cure. Treatment decisions belong with your doctor. Research ideas are shared only with approved researchers and labs, who can test them. In an emergency call your local emergency number (112 in India and Europe, 911 in the US). AI Cure Terms of Use · Privacy
