DESCRIPTION:Lifestyle and Diabetes Precision Medicine\n\nAbstract\n\nThe co
 ncept of precision medicine focuses on the optimization of recommendations
  or therapy using patient-level biomarker data\; this new approach to prev
 enting\, diagnosing\, monitoring and treating many different types of dise
 ase\, has stimulated enormous interest throughout society\, as it provides
  hope of more effective\, less costly and safer ways of tackling numerous 
 high-burden diseases. Whilst precision diabetes medicine is often framed i
 n the context of pharmacotherapy\, using biomarkers to personalize lifesty
 le recommendations intended to lower type 2 diabetes risk or to slow progr
 ession\, is also conceivable. There are at least four ways in which this m
 ight work: i) by helping predict a person’s susceptibility to adverse life
 style exposures\; ii) facilitating the stratification of type 2 diabetes i
 nto subclasses\, some of which may be prevented or treated optimally with 
 specific lifestyle interventions\; iii) discovery of prognostic biomarkers
  that help guide timing and intensity of lifestyle interventions\; iv) pre
 dicting treatment response. In my lecture I will overview the rationale fo
 r precision diabetes medicine\, specifically as it relates to lifestyle\; 
 I will scrutinize existing evidence\, discuss the barriers germane to this
  field\, and consider how this work is likely to proceed over the coming y
 ears. \n\n \n\nPaul W. Franks\n\nHead\, Genetic & Molecular Epidemiology U
