“…No contexto do processo de transição nutricional, esse incremento tem sido atribuído às modificações do estilo de vida, ao aumento das taxas de sobrepeso e obesidade e ao envelhecimento populacional (15). Apesar de o DM2 ser o tipo de diabetes mais comum, seu diagnóstico precoce não é freqüente, uma vez que o estado hiperglicêmico não implica, necessariamente, em sintomas clínicos perceptíveis (1).…”
