Personalising Diabetes Treatment

Diabetes affects one in six people in Malaysia, and is one of the top causes of death, as slightly over half (56%) of patients do not have good blood glucose control. We face multiple challenges in reducing the impact of diabetes, including poor compliance to treatment and progression of the disease towards complications. Can precision medicine guide us in adopting a different approach to diabetes management? We find out from Dr Tye Sok Cin, a postdoctoral researcher with the Section on Genetics and Epidemiology, Joslin Diabetes Center, Harvard Medical School. (Sok Cin recently received the first-ever Andrew P. Goldberg Early Career Award by the American Diabetes Association for her work in diabetes research.)
