| Abstract: | This chapter on lifestyle for the prevention of diabetes is from a comprehensive text that serves as a resource for all health professionals, community professionals, and individuals who provide education to individuals with diabetes. The authors note that the prevention and delay of diabetes and the chronic complications associated with diabetes have become urgently important in both public health and patient care. Education plays a large role in preventing and delaying the onset of type 2 diabetes, as well as in preventing and controlling its devastating complications. Topics covered include risk factors and their interactions, the effectiveness of lifestyle intervention in diabetes prevention, related landmark studies including the Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP), self-care behaviors, translating prevention research for diverse populations and settings, a clinical approach for high-risk individuals, the Medicare Medical Nutrition Therapy Act of 2005, and the role of a community approach to diabetes prevention. The chapter includes a list of key points, a summary of teaching strategies, suggested Internet resources, a glossary of key terms, and a list of references. 1 figure. 4 tables. 44 references. |
