Abstract:There is a long period of glucose intolerance that precedes the development of diabetes. Screening tests can identify persons at high risk. Furthermore, there are safe, potentially effective interventions that can address modifiable risk factors such as obesity, body fat distribution, physical inactivity and elevated fasting and 2hr glucose. The Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) compares Intensive Lifestyle Training (ILS), Metformin (MET) and Placebo (PLA) on reducing the risks of Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) in people with impaired glucose tolerance. In total, 3234 participants were recruited across all 27 clinical sites and have been followed since 1996. 58% and 31% risk reduction have been observed in the ILS and MET groups, respectively, during the randomized stage. Both treatment options are safe and effective across all age, gender, race groups. After 2002, all participants received modified ILS for ethical reasons. Reduced risks of microvascular complications (nephropathy, retinopat...
