NIDDM: new aspects of management.
Patients over age 40 should be made aware of the triad of risk factors for the disease and taught to recognize common signs and symptoms. Those with high-risk profiles should be tested regularly and counseled regarding preventive and therapeutic strategies. For obese patients whose weight cannot be brought under control with diet and exercise alone, a trial of anorectic agents should be considered.
