Given the remarkable progress made to date in regard to unraveling the pathophysiology and natural history of type 2 diabetes, identifying at-risk individuals, and evaluating effective clinical interventions for diabetes prevention, it would be very logical to think that assembling the required resources and implementing the “real-world” translation of findings to prevent type 2 diabetes would ...
