Precision Medicine in Diabetes Treatment

Precision medicine is growing more popular, and it is defined as an evolving approach to disease treatment and prevention that considers individual heterogeneity in genes, environment, and lifestyle. Big data, genomics, and other “omics” such as metabolomics, proteomics, and transcriptomics could make the promise of personalized medicine a reality in the not-too-distant future. Precision diabetes research is progressing at a breakneck pace. While it is still too early to declare that we have arrived at a point where every diabetic patient can receive a personalized treatment, we are beginning to recognize that one size does not fit all.
