Personalized Medicine for Diabetes Prediction and Prevention of Complications

The metabolic syndrome is a collection of related risk factors that predispose to the development of type 2 diabetes Mellitus and cardiovascular disease. The investigators will examine the hypothesis that the metabolic and genomic characteristics of patients with metabolic syndrome and/or diabetes that are at risk for developing complications differ from each other and can be detected using specific biomarkers in blood or in the exhaled breath. Early detection of these individuals will enable personalized treatment to prevent and treat diabetes and its complications
