Clinical Topic: Diabetes

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) accounts for 90-95% of all diabetes, with an asymptomatic phase that may last years. Approximately 15-20% of people with T2DM in Ireland may be undiagnosed. Early diagnosis requires clinical suspicion, with systematic and opportunistic case-finding to identify and test ‘high risk’ groups.
