Link (PDF): Cost-effective solutions for the prevention of Type 2 diabetes
Application/Key learning points: Much can be done to prevent the onset of Type 2 diabetes, as outlined in IDF’s Cost-effective solutions for the prevention of Type 2 diabetes report, which provides an overview of the latest evidence on the different programmes available to tackle its rise. The wide range of options presented and their cost-saving implications give cause for optimism that the current situation can be reversed. This report discusses in detail the components of a successful lifestyle modification programme, the benefits of using certain medications for primary prevention, and provides an analysis of different public health measures to promote healthier behaviours. The intention of this report is to provide policy makers and diabetes advocates with an accessible and comprehensive summary of the current data on the clinical effects of primary prevention programmes, the costs associated with their delivery, and the resulting benefits for our societies. Evidence on implementable solutions is also included to inform policy development.
