The numbers of people with type 2 diabetes are rising rapidly around the world, making it imperative to develop and introduce methods of preventing the condition. A series of clinical trials over the last decade has shown conclusively that lifestyle interventions focusing on physical activity, diet, and weight loss can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes by approximately 60%. Trials examining pharmaceutical interventions have shown that metformin, acarbose, and glitazones also reduce…

Lifestyle intervention to prevent diabetes: intensive AND cost effective
TLDR
Lifestyle intervention needs to incorporate individualization and repeated long-term contacts with trained facilitators to prevent diabetes and hence its complications from developing.
Ramipril and the development of diabetes.
TLDR
Ramipril is associated with lower rates of new diagnosis of diabetes in high-risk individuals and these effects were also consistently seen in several subgroups examined.
Sustained reduction in the incidence of type 2 diabetes by lifestyle intervention: follow-up of the Finnish Diabetes Prevention Study
Reduction in the incidence of type 2 diabetes with lifestyle intervention or metformin.
TLDR
Lifestyle changes and treatment with metformin both reduced the incidence of diabetes in persons at high risk and the lifestyle intervention was more effective than meetformin.
Prevention of type 2 diabetes with troglitazone in the Diabetes Prevention Program.
TLDR
Troglitazone markedly reduced the incidence of diabetes during its limited period of use, but this action did not persist, and whether other thiazolidinedione drugs used for longer periods can safely prevent diabetes remains to be determined.
XENical in the prevention of diabetes in obese subjects (XENDOS) study: a randomized study of orlistat as an adjunct to lifestyle changes for the prevention of type 2 diabetes in obese patients.
TLDR
Compared with lifestyle changes alone, orlistat plus lifestyle changes resulted in a greater reduction in the incidence of type 2 diabetes over 4 years and produced greater weight loss in a clinically representative obese population.
Acarbose for prevention of type 2 diabetes mellitus: the STOP-NIDDM randomised trial
Effect of ramipril on the incidence of diabetes.
TLDR
Among persons with impaired fasting glucose levels or impaired glucose tolerance, the use of ramipril for 3 years does not significantly reduce the incidence of diabetes or death but does significantly increase regression to normoglycemia.
Prevention of Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus by diet and physical exercise The 6-year Malmö feasibility study
TLDR
It is concluded that long-term intervention in the form of diet and physical exercise is feasible even on a large scale, and that substantial metabolic improvement can be achieved which may contribute to prevent or postpone manifest diabetes.
