the claim

Type 2 diabetes causes weight gain.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
4 sources for · 2 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that type 2 diabetes causes weight gain?

Partly. Reference sources describe obesity as a cause of type 2 diabetes, the reverse of the claim, while clinical reviews report weight gain in type 2 diabetes mainly as a consequence of insulin therapy rather than of the disease itself. No placed source directly establishes that type 2 diabetes itself causes weight gain.
