Integrated biomarker profiling for predicting the response of type 2 diabetes to metformin

Diabetes Obes MetabPublished Biomarker discovery and prediction model study

Authors' conclusion

The IBP composed of nine biomarkers can be used to predict the response of T2D patients to metformin, enabling clinicians to start a combined medication strategy as soon as possible if T2D patients do not respond to metformin.

Study context
