We report the 5-year follow-up results of a randomized genetic risk counseling intervention on incident T2D and weight in a population of adults with elevated diabetes risk. Individualized T2D genetic risk counseling did not result in short-term[3] or long-term weight loss, nor did it reduce 5-year T2D incidence. [Extracted from the article]
