Abstract in brief

  • The study involved 522 overweight middle-aged individuals with impaired glucose tolerance, who were randomly assigned to either receive personalized lifestyle counseling aimed at weight loss, dietary changes, and increased physical activity or to a control group, with an average follow-up of about 3.2 years.
  • The intervention group experienced significantly greater weight loss and lifestyle improvements compared to the control group, and these changes were associated with a substantial reduction (58%) in the risk of developing type 2 diabetes over four years.
  • The findings suggest that lifestyle modifications, including weight management and dietary adjustments, can effectively prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes in high-risk individuals.

Prediyabetlilerden, kilo verip yağ alımını azaltan ve fiziksel aktivitesini artıranların tip 2 diyabet geliştirme riskini %54 azalttığı tespit edilmiştir. Görülme sıklığındaki azalmanın hayat tarzı değişikliği derecesiyle doğrudan ilişkili saptanmıştır. https://t.co/XmpyqJo50E

@bigfatsurprise In early to middle stages of course it would. 50% of patients recover fully their insulin-resistance by loosing about 10kg/20pounds of weight - best way is to eat unprocessed/organic food. https://t.co/ILw5A1O88r https://t.co/Ci2rDUNpG7

Modest weight reduction (4-5 kg) especially in patients with impaired glucose tolerance has significant effect on reducing the risk of developing diabetes. This was shown in one of the earlier studies (Finnish #diabetes prevention study, 2001) https://t.co/MMB5qhNimN
