It has been said that before the body screams, it whispers. A recent study supports this sentiment by revealing subtle health signals that may emerge decades before a Type 2 diabetes diagnosis, illuminating a quiet message from our bodies before the full-fledged outcry of the disease.
Common Health Issues That May Predict Diabetes
Imagine detecting diabetes years before its diagnosis. A study presented at this year’s annual meeting of the European Association for the Study of Diabetes in Hamburg announced that early trajectory could aid in identifying precursors in patients’ health histories.The need for early detection is underscored by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data: More than 37 million Americans have Type 2 diabetes, and this number is projected to soar above 60 million by 2060. With an annual cost burden of $327 billion, the financial and health implications are immense.
