People with blood type B may be up to 28 percent more likely to develop type 2 diabetes compared to the general population, according to research published in 2024. The studies suggest individuals with this blood type show increased susceptibility to the metabolic disease, though medical experts emphasize the difference is not dramatic. Health professionals stress the importance of considering blood type as a risk factor, particularly when other diabetes risk factors are also present, as it could help inform prevention strategies and early screening efforts.
