240-LB: Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme and Type 2 Diabetes Risk: A Mendelian Randomization Study

The causal relationship between angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibition and protection from type 2 diabetes (T2D) remains uncertain. While three large randomized control trials (RCTs) suggested a protective effect of ACE inhibitors compared to placebo, three other RCTs failed to observe an effect, including the only trial dedicated to this question.
