What is Type 2 diabetes?
Type 2 diabetes is a common condition where the body doesn't produce enough insulin, or the insulin it produces isn't used effectively. This leads to high blood sugar levels. The story points out that statins seem underused in people with Type 2 diabetes, which is a concern as diabetes is a known risk factor for cognitive decline and dementia.
