Type 2 diabetes is increasingly recognized as a heterogeneous condition with varying cardiovascular disease risk.
Understanding the heterogeneity of type 2 diabetes can help tailor cardiovascular risk management strategies.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
Diabetes type 2 is increasingly found to be a heterogeneous condition, where risk of cardiovascular disease that traditionally has been estimated at 2-4 times that of the nondiabetic population varies substantially with diabetes phenotype.
Why this rating
The claim is based on emerging research findings regarding diabetes heterogeneity.
