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