The global agenda for the prevention of type 2 diabetes

Abstract: Diabetes represents an enormous and growing clinical and public health problem. Its financial burden is huge and growing and likely to be unsustainable. Lifestyle interventions are safe and effective for preventing diabetes, are associated with improved quality of life, and are cost-effective. Metformin is effective, safe, and costeffective, if not cost-saving. National and international efforts are needed to identify at-risk individuals and to systematically apply these interventions. Research must focus on h… Show more

“…Dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 (DPP‐4) is a peptidase that removes 2 amino acids (His‐Ala) from the active glucagon‐like peptide 1 [GLP‐1] resulting in its bio‐inactivation. The use of DPP‐4 inhibitors, therefore, increases GLP‐1 half‐life and is an effective way to increase the endogenous effects of GLP‐1 to enhance glucose‐stimulated insulin secretion and to suppress glucagon secretion.…”

“…The incidence of both type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) is increasing steadily, both in the United States and worldwide. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] The National Diabetes Statistics report, 2017 (www.cdc.gov/diabetes/pdfs/ data/statistics/national-diabetes-statistics-report.pdf) 8 estimates that as of 2015, 30.3 million people in the US have diabetes (T1D or T2D), with 23.1 million being diagnosed and 7.2 million being undiagnosed; 90% to 95% of these have T2D. In China, where diabetes prevalence is the highest worldwide, an estimated 110 million adults have diabetes.…”

“…However, despite persistent advice to the public emphasizing the importance of lifestyle factors in the prevention and management of MetS, the rising prevalence of the syndrome and its associated pathologies is a testament to the difficulties encountered in successfully implementing long-term behavioral changes. Pharmacotherapy has been employed with varying degrees of success, although disadvantages associated with prolonged use of pharmaceuticals include side effects, cost, and public access [ 13 , 14 ], which is a particularly acute problem in the developing world where the incidence of MetS is escalating at an alarming rate and availability of pharmaceuticals can be a limiting factor [ 15 ]. Natural products derived from food sources therefore represent an attractive complementary therapy for the treatment of MetS due to their relative safety and tolerability compared to several of the drugs currently available, although vigilance remains necessary to ensure proper safety standards for nutritional supplements in the marketplace [ 16 , 17 ].…”

“…In the implantation of teeth, it increases the risk of inflammation of the soft tissue and alveolar bone damage due to its hyperglycemia [14]. Pre-diabetes is associated with the development of cardiovascular disease, which increases the risk of cardiovascular disease such as stroke and coronary heart disease [15], and increases the risk of macrovascular and microvascular disease [16].…”
