Question

which is a factor that influences the onset of type 2 diabetes?
ingestion of gluten
presence of microbes
alcohol intake
insulin resistance

Explanation:

Type 2 diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance, where the body's cells do not respond properly to insulin. Ingestion of gluten is related to celiac - disease and other gluten - related disorders, not directly to type 2 diabetes. Presence of microbes is not a direct factor in the onset of type 2 diabetes. Alcohol intake can have metabolic effects but is not the main factor in the onset of type 2 diabetes. Insulin resistance is a key factor in the development of type 2 diabetes.

Answer:

insulin resistance
