Adherence
Lifestyle interventions (healthy diet, physical activity, smoking cessation) and pharmacotherapy (metformin) significantly reduce the incidence of type 2 diabetes.
To prevent type 2 diabetes, focus on maintaining a healthy diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and quitting smoking. If you are at high risk, discuss metformin with your doctor. Regular monitoring of blood glucose, kidney function, eyes, and feet is essential for those diagnosed.

A considerable reduction in the incidence of type 2 diabetes can result from changes in lifestyle (Wing et al., 2013), or by using metformin (Diabetes Prevention Program Research Group, 2002).
