Prevention of type 2 diabetes mellitus
AbstractThe current global epidemic of diabetes mellitus type 2 (T2DM) is primarily a consequence of overweight/ obesity and a sedentary lifestyle. The prevention or modification of progressive insulin resistance is the key to preventing the development of diabetes. Along with lifestyle modification, pharmacological treatment methods (metformin, weight loss drugs - sibutramine) reduce the risk of progression of prediabetes in T2DM.
