Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance and high blood sugar levels. Research in the area of T2DM focuses on understanding the underlying mechanisms of the disease, identifying risk factors, developing new diagnostic tools, and exploring potential treatments and prevention strategies. This research often involves studying lifestyle factors, genetics, and the impact of obesity on T2DM development. The goal of this research is to improve the management and outcomes of T2DM patients and ultimately find a cure for this widespread and increasingly prevalent disease.
