Diabetes Prevention. Studies indicate T2D can also be prevented in high-risk individuals through lifestyle modification, pharmacologic interventions, and bariatric surgery, however, the translation of this research to a population level, especially finding the most effective methods of preventing T2DM in various societies and cultural settings is challenging, but is a crucial priority (Xxxxxxx XxXxxxxx, Wyne, Xxxxxxxxxx, & Xxxxx, 2014). Findings from observational and experimental studies now provide consistent evidence that reducing and frequently breaking up prolonged sitting with light-intensity physical activities and standing may be practical strategies for improving T2D prevention and management (Xxxxxxx, Xxxx, Xxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, & Xxxxxxx, 2016). A recent systematic review looking at diabetes prevention sought to answer the following question. What is the efficacy of preventive interventions (lifestyle and/or metformin) in those identified as high risk by screening (Xxxxx et al., 2017)? A meta-analysis showed that lifestyle interventions reduced the relative risk of developing diabetes by 31% (95% confidence interval 15% to 44%) if the intervention lasted six months to two years. This translates to 69 (95% confidence interval 56 to 85) out of 1000 people in the lifestyle intervention group developing diabetes compared with 100 out of 1000 without the intervention, or a number needed to treat (NNT) of 33 (95% confidence interval 23 to 67). Lifestyle interventions lasting three to six years showed a 37% (28% to 46%) reduction in relative risk, equating to 151 out of 1000 people in the lifestyle intervention group developing diabetes compared with 239 of 1000 in the control group (NNT 12). The overall relative risk reduction of developing diabetes after lifestyle interventions was 36%. Because of the small number of follow-up studies it is difficult to assess the reduction in risk of diabetes after the completion of lifestyle interventions. Meta-analysis evaluating the impact of metformin showed a relative risk reduction of 26% (95% confidence interval 16% to 35%) while participants were taking this drug, translating to 218 (95% confidence interval 192 to 248) out of 1000 developing diabetes while taking metformin compared with 295 of 1000 not receiving this drug (NNT 14 (95% confidence interval 10 to 22)). The benefits of metformin were assessed at the end of the trial periods once the participants had been taking the drug for a specified length of time. There were no follo...
