My patient with diabetes relies on lifesaving insulin injections, even while traveling. He packed the insulin in his carry-on , but @AirCanada forced him to check it in and lost his luggage. He had no insulin for 3 weeks! This is potentially deadly and totally unacceptable!

Fantastic, clear presentation by Prof. Paul Frank's @lunduniversity to lead off fascinating symposium on heterogeneity and precision medicine in type 2 #diabetes #ADA2023. "Population strategy worsens diabetes when intervention effects are heterogeneous"

Our study just published in @JAHA_AHA: young-onset type 2 diabetes has 6×⬆️risk of heart failure. Key figure: the earlier T2D is diagnosed, the higher the HF risk. We need to better prevent HF in T2D - especially in young adults. @BEchouffo @ICESOntario ahajrnls.org/3Ssj4ay
JAHA@JAHA_AHA6 Feb 2024
Canadian study finds younger age at T2D diagnosis is associated with higher risk for HF hospitalization. The higher risk remains after adjusting for hypertension, coronary artery disease, and chronic kidney disease. #AHAJournals @BEchouffo ahajrnls.org/3Ssj4ay

The poor outcomes of young-onset type 2 #diabetes (YOD) have been shown in many countries. I have always wondered whether these outcomes differ by ethnicity. We looked at data from Canada, which has an ideal multiethnic population to answer to this question. Here's what we found.

So, in Chinese & South Asian populations—where type 2 diabetes is commonly driven by insulin deficiency—YOD leads to lower risks of some, but not all, complications compared to the general population. Addressing these differences is key to precision prevention strategies in YOD.
