title: [Type 2 diabetes prevention. Experts' Group position paper endorsed by the Polish Cardiac Society Working Group on Cardiovascular Pharmacotherapy].
abstract: Type 2 diabetes is responsible for approximately 90% of all diabetes worldwide and it is a global public health problem. This is a chronic, progressive, metabolic disease characterised by hyperglycaemia, which leads to microangiopathic and macroangiopathic complications. Subjects with type 2 diabetes have increased mortality and a reduced life expectancy compared with those without diabetes. Strong evidence supports the fact that identification of type 2 diabetes risk factors and early intervention influencing the modifiable ones can reduce incidence rate of diabetes and prevalence of its complications. There are many advantages of such interventions for patients (prolonged life expectancy, improvement of life quality) and for the whole society (reduction of the costs). Therefore the guidelines for the prevention of type 2 diabetes are needed. Experts of the Polish Cardiac Society Working Group on Cardiovascular Pharmacotherapy reviewed recently published clinical studies regarding the prevention of type 2 diabetes and prepared their recommendations. The guidelines are designed to assist clinicians and other healthcare workers to make evidence based management decisions. The strategies are grouped broadly into interventions that aim to change lifestyle through physical activity and diet, interventions based on drug administration (pharmacotherapy) and surgical interventions.
