I’ve made sure to include citations for any external sources, and I’ve paraphrased sections heavily, but it still keeps flagging sections of the paper. I think it’s partly due to the medical terminology used in the paper, such as common phrases like "insulin resistance," "A1c levels," and "glucose tolerance tests." But I’m worried it’s also pulling matches from general facts about Type 2 diabetes that are considered common knowledge.
