So each person's diabetes is unique, even if they share aJennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17384082448952856117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30206473.post-84543133194147348242013-06-22T18:45:07.332-04:002013-06-22T18:45:07.332-04:00i couldn't find out exactly what method was us...i couldn't find out exactly what method was used to identify people with the TCF7L2 gene in the research you cited.

If the method used to identify the gene in that research is the same method that 23andme uses, then i would think that would give more validity to the 23andme results. that being said, i have been on diabetes forums on the 23andme site in which people who have diagnosed type 1 v/vmaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06862544306715636777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30206473.post-35414263821357026672013-06-22T16:16:37.334-04:002013-06-22T16:16:37.334-04:00v/vmary,

I wouldn't use it for any kind of diagnosis. There is no way of knowing if it is accurate and its results do not match those of other gene testers. <br /><br />The only reason that the diabetes gene might be related to cancer is because very high blood sugars promote cancer.
