[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1833880, member: 468714"] I think one of the challenges for researchers, doctors and patient alike is that[B] more refined tests[/B] may [B]produce a greater number of results that seem to fall across two previous categories ( e.g.T2D and LADA), or results which stretch the category itself (e.g LADA). We live in a sea of uncertainty.[/B] What is suggested is that[B] our genetic make-up[/B] is so varied across a population and populations that we end up with a myriad of sub-categories. Scientists and doctors like, it seems, to be able[B] to pigeonhole medical conditions [/B]so that it is easier to understand them and treat them. ( of course[B][I] the reality is that one is not diagnosing and treating a condition, one is treating a human [/I][/B]individual with particular signs, symptoms and test results, who lives outside a test tube in the real world and thus is[B][I] subject to the environment also affecting the way his/her genes express themselves. In such a sea of uncertainty what we look for are experts who can tolerate this uncertainty and with consummate skill find the best fit in terms of test and treatment for each individual.[/I][/B] [/QUOTE]
