New study looking at insulin resistance

[Amity Island]

The project will focus on developing an in vitro model of glucose metabolism and insulin resistance in skeletal muscle, with the aim of understanding genetic and environmental factors that cause type 2 diabetes.

King’s College London is leading the diabetes research project that has been awarded a total of £1.2m in funding from the UK.

Looks like it will be lab research from the description. Shame as it would potentially be interesting to get involved if they sought participants. Positive though that attention and research is targeting these areas.
