A study published in the journal "Diabetes Therapy" suggests dʹaisser le seuil de diagnostic du diabète de type 2 chez les femmes de moins de 50 ans. This solution, proposed by Dr. Adrian Heald's team at Salford Royal Hospital, would take into account the natural blood loss associated with menstruation, which would have an impact on the markers used when diagnosing the disease.
