Family history of T2D does not impair skin microvascular hyperaemia in normoglycaemia; leaves open links to insulin resistance.
Does a strong family history of Type 2 diabetes impair skin microvascular vasodilatory capacity in normoglycaemic adults?
A strong family history of Type 2 diabetes alone does not impair maximum skin microvascular hyperaemic response in normoglycaemic adults, though microvascular vasodilatory capacity is associated with features of insulin resistance.
Lee et al. (2001) studied this question.
