What this claim means

People with persistently high levels of copeptin in their blood have a higher likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes compared to those with lower levels.

See the technical phrasing

Chronically elevated copeptin levels are associated with a significantly increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Why this might work
Verified
based on 4 studies

When the body is consistently low on water, it releases a hormone that tells the liver to make more sugar and blocks the body's ability to use insulin properly. This causes blood sugar to rise over time, leading to type 2 diabetes.
