Journal Title: International Journal of Research in Pharmacology & Pharmacotherapeutics (IJRPP) - Year 2014, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
This study reviewed the research reports dealing with non- pharmacologic interventions aimed at preventing type 2 diabetes including diet and physical activity, for the prevention of Type-2DM.Lifestyle interventions reduce the rate of progression to type 2 diabetes in people with impaired glucose tolerance. People with impaired glucose tolerance have a high risk of developing type 2 diabetes, and consequently many trials of interventions for prevention of type 2 diabetes have focused on such individuals. Lifestyle interventions seem to be at least as effective as drug treatment. Exercise is perceived to be beneficial for glycemic control and weight loss in patients with type-2 DM. clinical trials on the effects of exercise in patients with type-2DM have had small sample sizes and conflicting results. India has the second largest diabetic population (61 million) and tobacco users (275 million) in the world.
