- Abstract
The article focuses on the findings of a study which examined the distribution of comorbid conditions both prior to and following the initial diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) using administrative data from a Midwestern health plan from 2001 to 2005. It mentions several comorbid conditions prior to diagnosis of DM including hypertension. It emphasizes the need for further research to examine the role of DM in the development of such comorbid conditions.
