Low levels of PYY hormone a very early indicator of Type 2 diabetes

MEDIA RELEASE: 10 Mar 2008
Garvan scientists have published findings showing that low levels of the hormone PYY could be used as a predictor for the development of Type 2 diabetes. Clinical studies have shown that people with a family history of Type 2 diabetes, but not yet showing signs of insulin resistance themselves, produce lower levels of PYY after eating, a very early sign of pre-diabetes.
