• Fruit and vegetable intake and incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus: systematic review and meta-analysis (2010, background): “but the relation between fruit and vegetable intake and incidence of type 2 diabetes is not fully understood. A recent meta-analysis concluded that there is overwhelming support for the benefit of lifestyle interventions to prevent type 2 diabetes.”
• Risk Factors Contributing to Type 2 Diabetes and Recent Advances in the Treatment and Prevention (2014, background): “It has been shown that behavior change interventions can prevent or delay the development of T2DM for people with high risk [190].”
• Systematic review of reviews of intervention components associated with increased effectiveness in dietary and physical activity interventions (2011, background): “High quality causal evidence (grade 1++) from one meta-analysis of RCTs[43] showed that interventions to promote changes in diet or physical activity (or both) produced moderate and clinically meaningful effects on the risk of progression to type 2 diabetes (relative risk reduction of 49% at 3.”
• The worldwide epidemiology of type 2 diabetes mellitus—present and future perspectives (2012, background): “Several major trials unequivocally show that intensive lifestyle interventions, specifically aimed at weight loss and increased physical activity in high-risk individuals, can prevent or at least delay the progression to overt T2DM by 50% and that they are as effective as pharmacological interventio”
• Prevention of Diabetes With Mediterranean Diets (2014, background): “Intensive lifestyle modification promoting weight loss through energy-restricted diets together with increased physical activity can decrease incident diabetes to as low as 50% (3).”
