Metabolic health and weight management key to minimizing diabetes risk

(The North American Menopause Society (NAMS)) Increased fat distribution during menopause has long been shown to increase insulin resistance and the risk of diabetes.

Results are published online today in Menopause, the journal of The North American Menopause Society (NAMS).
