A REVOLUTIONARY change to the treatment of diabetes could be on the horizon according to the University of Dundee.

Scientists there say that “precision medicine” could be used to treat the 250,000 Scots who have the disease, a number which includes around 20,000 people who have diabetes but have not been diagnosed.

Dundee’s Professor Ewan Pearson from the University’s School of Medicine will be talking about precision medicine and how it could be used to treat the condition tonight at Avery & Co, Dundee, at 7pm in the latest of the city’s popular Cafe Science events.

Tonight’s event is free and open to all, but organisers have recommended that those wishing to attend arrive early.
