Exercise, diet and lifestyle changes can prevent diabetes in people at high risk
Study shows that preventive benefits of healthy behaviour begin early and last for years.
People at high risk of developing diabetes can prevent its onset if they exercise, improve their diet and make one other lifestyle change such as seeking counselling or quitting smoking, according to recently published findings from medical researchers at the University of Alberta.
Faculty of Medicine & Dentistry researcher Christina Korownyk and her team, which included the Alberta Research Centre for Health Evidence, published their findings in the peer-reviewed Annals of Internal Medicine. Their results confirm similar findings by other groups.
“This is reassurance for those who are at risk of developing diabetes that there is good evidence to support comprehensive lifestyle interventions in preventing diabetes,” she said. “The benefits begin early on, within the first year, and lasted for years after the interventions ended.”
