New Diabetes Subgroups May Improve Treatment Outcomes,

reported that “clustering patients into 5 subgroups may be beneficial for identifying those at risk for diabetic complications,” according to a study published in the Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology. The investigators wrote, “the results of our study suggest that this new clustering of patients with adult-onset diabetes is superior to the classic diabetes classification because it identifies patients at high risk of diabetic complications at diagnosis and provides information about underlying disease mechanisms, thereby guiding choice of therapy.” https://www.endocrinologyadvisor.com/type-2-diabetes-advisor/diabetes-subgroups-novel-treatment-prevention-diabetic-complications/article/753602/
