Those that produce lower levels of the molecule PYY are more apt to develop type 2 diabetes. It has already been proven that the hormone PYY is secreted in the gut and helps one feel satiated.
It may soon be possible to take a simple blood test and predict whether or not someone has low levels of a particular molecule, predisposing them to the development of Type 2 diabetes. If the test is positive, it may then be possible to use preventative treatment, slowing down, or even halting that development.
You know exactly where this is going. With earlier detection we can treat or prevent diabetes to yield better outcomes.
