The Imperative of Implementing Precision Medicine in the Context of Diabetes and Treatment

Precision medicine is a medical approach that involves customizing therapy for an individual by using extensive biological and external data. The advancements in the fields of molecular biology, genome sequencing, artificial intelligence, and other technologies have greatly enabled the use of precision medicine. This approach utilizes the wealth of comprehensive information obtained from these advancements to improve the decision-making process in clinical treatment for individuals, particularly in real-time scenarios during the progression of a disease. Diabetes is a prominent global health concern that necessitates the adoption of innovative approaches to improve patient outcomes. The efficacy of conventional treatment options that use a uniform approach has been shown to be limited in effectively addressing the heterogeneous character of the illness. In contemporary times, the concept of customized medicine has emerged as an innovative option, tailoring methods of therapy based on a person’s medical characteristics, lifestyle preferences, and genetic background. This review emphasizes the significance of genetic evaluation in forecasting the vulnerability to diabetes and its response to treatment, while also emphasizing the potential of pharmacogenomics in improving the choice of drugs.
