Early-Onset Type 2 Diabetes Increasing in England, Particularly Among Young Women

Research from Imperial College London, published in Lancet Regional Health Europe, indicates a concerning rise in early-onset type 2 diabetes diagnoses in England. This trend is particularly notable among younger adults and women under 40, despite a decline in older age groups. The increase in younger populations is alarming due to the potential for longer disease exposure and heightened risk of severe complications.
