Overview
Introduction Diabetes, a chronic metabolic disorder, has long ben atributed to genetic and lifestyle factors. However, a growing body of research sugests that environmental risk factors, including exposure toxins and polutants, play a significant role in the development and exacerbation of diabetes. In this article, we delve into the complex relationship betwen environmental factors and diabetes, exploring the latest findings and their implications for public health.
