With the rising tide of the diabetes epidemic leading to increased morbidity and mortality (primarily from cardiovascular disease), together with failure to control the disease and its associated complications, prevention of diabetes appears to be the logical option for curbing this epidemic. Several trials have been completed, and others ongoing, using various strategies for diabetes prevention. In this review, we provide an update on diabetes prevention strategies, highlighting the rationale behind such interventions, together with an outlook of the ongoing efforts that are likely to provide additional options for patients at risk for diabetes.
随着糖尿病流行趋势的加剧，导致发病率和死亡率上升（主要源于心血管疾病），同时疾病及其相关并发症未能得到控制，预防糖尿病似乎是遏制这一流行趋势的合理选择。已经完成了多项试验，还有其他试验正在进行，采用了各种糖尿病预防策略。在本综述中，我们提供了糖尿病预防策略的最新情况，强调此类干预措施背后的基本原理，以及对正在进行的努力的展望，这些努力可能为糖尿病高危患者提供更多选择。
