New findings underline the role of obesity in T2DM late complications
The results from a large-scale observational study carried out at German Institute of Human Nutrition Potsdam-Rehbruecke (DIfE) and the German Center for Diabetes Research (Deutsches Zentrum fuer Diabetesforschung, DZD), suggest that obesity and weight gain can lead to vascular disorders, the leading cause of disease and death for people with type 2 diabetes. The findings were reported in the paper, ‘BMI and BMI change following incident type 2 diabetes and risk of microvascular and macrovascular complications: the EPIC-Potsdam study’, published in Diabetologia.
