| | Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a condition characterized by insulin resistance, leading to high blood sugar levels or hyperglycemia. This disease affects approximately 12% of American adults, while more than a third have prediabetes, a precursor to T2D. The prevalence of this condition is a significant public health concern as it increases the risk of heart disease, including heart attacks, atrial fibrillation, and heart failure.
Several factors influence the development and progression of T2D, with some, such as race/ethnicity, age, and gender, being unmodifiable. |

Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by high levels of blood sugar (glucose) due to a deficiency in insulin production or a decreased ability to use insulin effectively. While there are various treatments for diabetes, stem cell therapy has emerged as a promising alternative for managing the disease. |
