چکیده
Primary prevention aims at identifying persons with risk of developing DM, so that the complications of DM can be prevented. With regards to developing Type 2DM there are many modifiable risk factors viz. overweight, corpulence, consumption of high calorie diet, fried foods, carbonated drinks, smoking, alcohol and lack of physical activity. These risk factors can be changed to active daily routine with healthy food habits i.e. life style modification. The non-modifiable risk factors like ethnicity, race of origin, genetic built and family history of DM, hypertension, coronary artery disease (CAD) and dyslipidemias can be partly neutralized by determined attempts of life style modification and where necessary usage of drugs like metformin, α glucosidase inhibitors and lipid lowering medications.4
