#Diabetes and #retinopathy Very interesting findings @Diabetes_ADA @ADA_Pubs

[Lukasz Szczerbinski @l_szczerbinski]

Thrilled to share our latest paper in @TheLancetEndo! Together with @JoseFlorezMDPhD, we delve into the advances in obesity genetics, its metabolic consequences, and the future of precision obesity management. It's time to emphasize obesity-centered diabetes care! 🧬🎯💊 #obesity #precisionmedicine #diabetes
