Scientists have identified five molecules in the blood that can foretell diabetes risk years before typical signs of the disease appear. The finding might help to identify at-risk people who could take steps to delay or halt the disease.
Type 2 diabetes, the most common form of the disease, develops gradually over many years. By the time it?s diagnosed, the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas may already be damaged.
Several factors are known to raise the diabetes risk, including excess weight and inactivity. But a more accurate indicator, such as molecular biomarkers in the blood, could lead to more targeted interventions.
