Prevention focused on risk factors of diabetes
Prevention of diabetes is aimed at preventing diabetes by addressing risk factors of diabetes. The main risk factors are overweight, an unhealthy diet and lack of physical activity. Smoking and excessive alcohol consumption indicate a slightly increased risk of diabetes. There are many initiatives that focus on a healthy lifestyle. The range of interventions specifically aimed at preventing diabetes is very limited. These initiatives are mainly focused on high risk groups such as people with prediabetes, those with a high risk of heart disease or overweight people.
