ABSTRACT

Type 2 diabetes is a public health problem in Mexico; prevention and control measures constitute a priority for the health care sector. This disease can and must be prevented. Recent evidence indicates that it can be delayed or prevented with lifestyle changes or with the use of different therapeutic regimes. Lifestyle changessuch as an increase in physical activity, reduction of calorie intake and saturated fats and increase in fiber consumption- has been an effective strategy among several populations worldwide. The challenge is the long term maintenance of these changes. An intensive lifestyle intervention for a short time can lead to noticeable reductions in diabetes risk even without a later intervention. Although drugs reduce the occurrence of diabetes, they are thought to delay the appearance of the disease. The protective effect is lost within a few weeks after drug use is stopped. Diabetes prevention and control strategies must focus jointly on educational and health strategies such as early screening. Until now, lifestyle interventions are the most powerful tool available for type 2 diabetes prevention in high risk populations.
