Posttraumatic stress disorder and type 2 diabetes outcomes in veterans

About The Study: The findings of this cohort study of patients with comorbid posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and type 2 diabetes suggest that PTSD is a modifiable risk factor associated with a modest reduction in microvascular complications. Further research is needed to determine whether findings are similar in non-Veterans Health Administration health care settings.
