About diabetes precision medicine Personalized medicine is tailored to the individual, instead of providing the same treatments to everyone, as has been traditionally the case. This approach is mostly known in cancer research, where individual treatments are determined for each person. In contrast, precision medicine is based upon identifying groups of people with similar disease characteristics and similar responses to treatment and risks of complications.
While all forms of diabetes have a genetic basis, it is only in the monogenic forms of diabetes that a known single mutation can provide a certain diagnosis and optimal treatment plan; other forms of diabetes have many genetic variants and non-genetic factors that contribute to risk. For type 2 diabetes, the consensus report presents evidence that routine clinical features can help predict how well different types of drugs work at treating the condition. The report also suggests how this common form of diabetes can be sub-classified into more precise sub-types.
