Conditions

Type 2 Diabetes

Brief summary

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) has adopted a top priority as it is a disease with an increasing prevalence. The number of people living with DM has increased more than fourfold over the past 40 years to more than 460 million people today

Detailed description

All-cause mortality rates have declined substantially in several high-income countries, including England. A diversification in non-fatal conditions in people with DM has also been reported. This is attributable to broader, non-vascular conditions. Due to increasing longevity among people with type 2 DM with increasing and diversifying multimorbidity in them, the health needs of people with Type 2 DM are therefore likely to be broad, and complex. Finding multimorbidity (two or more chronic conditions) is common in people with Type 2 DM and increasing, but the comorbidity profiles of people with T2DM vary substantially. Many studies have primarily focused on identifying multimorbidity patterns in the general population. The understanding of multimorbidity patterns and composition of specific comorbidities in people with DM, and how this varies across patient groups and during the course of the disease, is limited. Further knowledge of this could provide insight into providing more holistic and more personal approaches to clinical guideline development, care pathways, and secondary prevention.
