Diabetogenic

Diabetogenic refers to something that promotes or increases the risk of developing diabetes, especially type 2 diabetes. It involves factors or substances that impair how the body uses insulin or affects blood sugar regulation. For example, certain medications, unhealthy dietary habits, or hormonal imbalances can be diabetogenic by causing the body to become less responsive to insulin or by encouraging higher blood sugar levels. Recognizing diabetogenic factors is important for understanding how lifestyle or medical issues can contribute to the onset of diabetes and for developing strategies to prevent or manage the condition.
