Type II diabetes can be prevented

The researchers of the intervention group members to take a more detailed measures: the researchers to the intervention group were members of a more detailed dietary recommendations to help them achieve this goal, including how to reduce weight, reduce total fat intake, reduce saturated fat is not intake, how to improve the intake of plant fibers. In the first year of intervention by the dietitian to give them the seven lessons, and thereafter every 3 months time, in addition, the researchers also train them to exercise 30 minutes a day, mostly through endurance training methods, such as walking , jogging, swimming, aerobics, or ice skating and so on.

At the annual follow-up, if the doctors found that patients with blood lipids or blood pressure, on the proposed patient to the hospital, and diagnosis and treatment can be followed.

At the end of the study, the incidence of diabetes in the intervention group was 58% lower than the control group. 63% of men and women with low 54%. The intervention group of patients to change lifestyles much more dramatically than the control group, weight, waist circumference, blood glucose levels, serum insulin levels, blood lipid levels and blood pressure and other conditions were significantly better than the control group.

The study of the endurance training, aimed at improving the patient's cardiopulmonary adaptation, as well as muscle strength. Whether it be through exercise, housework, gardening or work-related physical activity, these people are active in the activities of the prevention of diabetes have the same benefits.

Even a small amount of weight loss can also be beneficial. The results of intervention is to make the comprehensive lifestyle changes have taken place. In this study, more than 5% weight loss of those who do not have diabetes.

Results it is clear that overweight, especially abdominal obesity increases the risk of type 2 diabetes. The way of life is indeed a significant improvement of results, it is through the diet, reasonable diet and exercise can really benefit.

However, lifestyle changes are often more plans, but little action. This poses a problem, from the study whether there are effects of these interventions. However, the researchers are confident that, because drop-outs in this study very few patients, the intervention group only 9% in the control group only 7%. Therefore, the promotion of research scientists are very optimistic about the future.
