Genetic variants that predispose to diabetes are not associated with the rate of progression from diabetes to requirement of insulin treatment, according to a study published online Nov. 1 in Diabetes Care.
Kaixin Zhou, PhD, from the University of Dundee in the United Kingdom, and colleagues examined comprehensive electronic medical records for 5,250 patients with type 2 diabetes. The authors sought to identify the association between clinical, biochemical, and genetic factors with the risk of progression of type 2 diabetes from diagnosis to requirement for insulin treatment.
