title: [Delaying and preventing type 2 diabetes mellitus].
abstract: In recent years, numerous studies have been concerned with delaying the manifestation of, or preventing, type 2 diabetes. In this connection, changes in lifestyle (weight reduction, physical activity) have proved to be particularly successful. Good results have, however, also been obtained with oral antidiabetics and/or ramipril. A striking finding has been the positive impact of acarbose on parameters of macroangiopathy.
