Healio (8/21, Rhoades) reports, “Individuals with type 2 diabetes who experience trauma may be at a lower risk for microvascular complications after resolving PTSD symptoms, according to…results from a retrospective study of U.S. veterans.” Investigators also “reported an association between no longer meeting the diagnostic criteria for PTSD and lower risk for mortality,” as well as “a lower likelihood of starting insulin (HR = 0.69; 95% CI, 0.53-0.88) among veterans aged 18 to 49 years.” The findings were published in JAMA Network Open.
