What's new — Type 2 diabetes¶
Generated 2026-09-03 from the publication dates of every paper cited in this condition's pages.
This page answers a different question from the curation log. The log says when we last edited a page; this says how recent the evidence on those pages is — so you can tell settled ground from a field that is actively moving, and jump straight to what has emerged lately.
How much of this condition's evidence is recent¶
| Published within | Cited papers |
|---|---|
| last week | 0 |
| last month | 0 |
| last 2 months | 2 |
| last 3 months | 3 |
| last 6 months | 5 |
| last year | 16 |
| older than a year | 230 |
Counts are cumulative: a paper from last week also counts inside "last month". Dates are PubMed publication or e-publication dates, so a paper may have appeared online before its journal issue.
