Abstract

Bernadine Ruiza G Ang

Biomarkers are measurable substances in an organism indicative of disease such as Type 2 diabetes. Biomarkers are utilized to obtain necessary information about a certain disease such as Type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is estimated to be the 7th leading cause of mortality by 2030, according to the World Health Organization. Comprehending the number of biomarkers that affect Type 2 diabetes will be the focus of this review. Obtaining different classes of biomarkers related to Type 2 diabetes could enable researchers to identify and characterize levels of Type 2 diabetes inception. Thus, they represent a logical way to improve diagnosis, track progression and activity, guide molecularly targeted therapy and monitor therapeutic response to Type 2 diabetes. Furthermore, great effort has been put into the identification of novel biomarkers. A comprehensive overview associated with Type 2 diabetes will be presented.
