Toronto (ECN) - Breakthrough studies reveal that Type 2 diabetes can be predicted in individuals prone to this disease up to a decade and more before its onslaught. This will have unprecedented impact on the ability to control and even prevent the disease from occurring in later life stages as pointed out in this Web MD article.
Insulin sensitivity studies have been the backdrop of research that has provided the necessary clues and warnings in those individuals who will likely experience the diagnosis of Type 2 Diabetes at some point in the future without attention to diet and exercise at a much earlier stage of life. The 69th Scientific Session of the American Diabetes Association in New Orleans was the forum in which these fabulous findings were recently revealed and discussed.
It seems that the President's nomination of Judge Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court has helped bring this great news to the forefront. Although Sotomayor has Type 1 Diabetes, and it really has nothing to do with this new information regarding Type 2 diabetes, the very mention of the disease coupled with the nomination inadvertently called attention to this great news story that will probably save hundreds of people from having to hear the fateful diagnosis in later years if they follow their doctors' proven advice in earlier years.
