Summary :
In this presentation Prof. Tuomilehto talks about the results of the Finnish Diabetes Prevention Study, which investigated the role of lifestyle guidance in the prevention or delay of type 2 diabetes in overweight, middle-aged subjects with impaired glucose tolerance.
Patients in the intervention group underwent dietary counseling sessions, and followed an individually tailored diet and individually designed exercise programme. Prof. Tuomilehto describes the study results in terms of reduced incidence of diabetes, the alterations in anthropometric and metabolic parameters, and the apparent relationship between genotype and the response to lifestyle intervention.
