B. Prevention of Diabetes<br />

OBJECTIVE<br />

Prevent or delay onset of type 2 <strong>DM</strong> in high-risk patients.<br />

BACKGROUND<br />

Individuals with pre-diabetes are at high-risk for type 2 diabetes. Therapeutic lifestyle modification leading to<br />

weight loss, with frequent and ongoing professional monitoring and supervision, has been shown to benefit patients<br />

with pre-diabetes. In addition, numerous studies have shown that a variety of pharmacologic interventions<br />

can prevent progression to diabetes.<br />

RECOMMENDATIONS<br />

1. Patients with pre-diabetes should be counseled about the risks of progression to diabetes and the rationale<br />

for implementing preventive strategies. [A] Individuals with risk factors for diabetes who are not diagnosed<br />

with pre-diabetes should also be counseled and educated about how to reduce risks.<br />

2. Lifestyle modifications to prevent diabetes, including regular aerobic exercise and a calorie-restricted diet<br />

to promote and maintain weight loss, should be instituted in patients with pre-diabetes. [A]<br />

3. An individualized goal to achieve and sustain weight loss of ≥ 5 percent of body weight should be set for<br />

patients with risk factor for diabetes and a BMI ≥ 25. [A]<br />

4. When lifestyle modifications have been ineffective at preventing a sustained rise in glucose, the patient<br />

may be offered pharmacologic therapy with a metformin or an alpha-glucosidase inhibitor (e.g., acarbose)<br />

to delay progression from pre-diabetes to a diagnosis of diabetes. [A]<br />
