Severely insulin-resistant phenotype ‘benefits most from bariatric surgery’
Novel classification of patients with type 2 diabetes might facilitate better targeting of treatment, researchers say

International researchers say their findings might lead to patients being offered treatments tailored to their disease phenotype rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.
