the claim

High cholesterol is linked to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
1 source for · 3 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 high cholesterol is linked to an increased risk of type 2 diabetes?

Partly. One animal study in Ossabaw swine partially supports the idea that increased cholesterol contributes to type 2 diabetes, while reference sources describe high cholesterol as a consequence or cardiovascular risk factor in diabetes rather than a cause of it. No human study retrieved directly measures high cholesterol as a risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes.
