Giving people detailed information about their personal genetic risk of developing diabetes may not inspire them to change their behavior any more than just giving them basic facts about the disease,” researchers found after analyzing “data on 569 men and women born in England between 1950 and 1965 who didn’t have a diagnosis of diabetes or other chronic diseases.” The findings were published online in PLoS Medicine. http://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-diabetes-risk-behavior-idUSKBN13P23Q
