Abstract As we enter the new millennium, we all need to work towards improving our lifestyles by increasing physical activity, maintaining healthy weights, and eating healthy diets. These behavior modifications can improve our chances of preventing or delaying the onset of diabetes. Developing awareness of the symptoms of diabetes can lead to early diagnosis and prevent or delay complications. Communities need to take action and provide the resources for encouraging behavioural change. Health care providers need to assess risks, screen appropriately, and educate the public on diabetes prevention. Boards of health need to provide leadership in the move towards the prevention of diabetes. And governments need to implement policies that foster healthy lifestyles. |
