High resting HR may flag diabetes risk in healthy adults; leaves open whether autonomic dysfunction is causal.
Does autonomic nervous system dysfunction increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes in healthy adults?
Autonomic nervous system dysfunction, indicated by high heart rate and low heart rate variability, is associated with an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes in healthy adults.
Carnethon et al. (2003) studied this question.
