Type 2 Diabetes Incidence

Meaning

Type 2 Diabetes Incidence refers to the rate at which new cases of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) are diagnosed within a defined population over a specified period. This epidemiological metric is a critical indicator of public health and the collective metabolic status of a community. High incidence rates signal widespread issues with insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and the failure of the endocrine system to maintain glucose homeostasis.
