Finnish Diaabetes Prevention Study - 30 min. walking/day DPP - Life-style modification 58% effective in preventing diabetes vs 31% for metformin. Weight loss is difficult to achieve and maintain. Can be done. New medications are being developed to assist with this. Life-style modification programs do not necessarily require professional health care providers to be successful.
Smoking cessation is KEY. Can be more successful with use of counselling, and pharmacologic support - Transdermal nicotine, bupropion or nortriptyline. |
