Type 2 diabetes: Artificial intelligence model predicts onset within 12 hours - South Florida Reporter

Diabetes is a chronic condition characterized by high blood glucose levels due to insulin resistance or insufficient insulin production. Around 463 million people worldwide have a diabetes diagnosis; 95% of these people have type 2 diabetes. If untreated, type 2 diabetes can damage the heart, eyes, kidneys, and nerves. Prediabetes, or "intermediate hyperglycemia," is the high risk stage before type 2 diabetes when blood sugar levels are above average but below the threshold for diabetes. Around 7.3% of the global adult population have prediabetes, and over 80% of adults in the United States with the condition are unaware they have it.
