Abstract:
The enormous implications caused by type 2 diabetes on patients, families and health systems in the U.S. require health care providers to apply measures that reduce its burden. Scientific evidence clearly shows that proper screening of populations at risk, implementation of interventions proven beneficial in preventing type 2 diabetes and the use of modern technology in educating patients to adopt a healthier lifestyle are paramount in decreasing the incidence of type 2 diabetes. In this article, we try to answer some of the questions raised by both patients and health care providers about how lifestyle modifications can play a key role in ameliorating and reversing impaired glucose tolerance and type 2 diabetes.
