These findings raise additional concerns about the association of selenium intake above the Recommended Dietary Allowance (55 mug/day) with diabetes risk.

These findings imply that the waist circumference is an important additional piece of information for assessing the risk of type 2 DM, particularly among persons of low or normal weight.

Adults with newly diagnosed diabetes appeared to be at higher risk of advanced liver disease, also known as diabetic hepatopathy.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and this risk is similar to that associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2).

A high resting heart rate is independently associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes in women. The combinations of high heart rate with high body mass index (BMI), waist-hip ratio (WHR) or blood pressure (BP) level are associated with a substantially increased risk.

In the North America obesity is considered to be responsible for 90% of DM in females. Male obesity is associated with DM slightly less, at 70-80% in the European Union and in the US.

Yet policy and public health recommendations of the UK government and its agencies (e.g. the Health Protection Agency, the Food Standards Agency) and of Cancer Research UK have failed to take full account of established and putative benefits of vitamin D and/or sunshine.

Findings from this nationally representative cohort demonstrate a socioeconomic gradient in diabetes-related mortality, with both education and income being important determinants of the risk of death.

Total fat mass and central adiposity predict an increased risk for cognitive decline in older person with Type 2 Diabetes.

We hope that these quality tools together with the IMAGE guidelines will provide a useful tool for improving the quality of diabetes prevention in Europe and make different prevention approaches comparable.

In older non-diabetic women, higher parity does not pose an ongoing risk of developing diabetes.

Evidence from well-defined cohort studies has shown that short sleep, through sleep fragmentation caused by obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) or behavioral sleep curtailment because of lifestyle choices, is associated with increased incidence of diabetes.

It is now time to focus on obesity and the metabolic syndrome, which require more a public health than a pharmacologic approach.

Prevention using lifestyle modifications in high-risk individuals is cost-effective and should be embedded in evaluated models of care. Effective prevention plans are predicated upon sustained government initiatives comprising advocacy, community support, fiscal and legislative changes, private sector engagement and continuous media communication.

In type 2 diabetic patients, fasting plasma glucose (FPG) variability is a risk factor for diabetic retinopathy independent of the mean FPG or HbA1c

The observed increase of serum IGF-1 and insulin-to-glucose ratio indicates that sleep restriction may result in an increased risk to develop type 2 diabetes.

Four cohort studies in a total of 4864 high risk individuals followed for a period of 2.5-6 years were identified. These showed that lifestyle change may reduce the incidence of type 2 diabetes by 28-59%.

The inclusion of neighborhood characteristics might be an important step in the identification and interpretation of risk factors for disability in diabetes.

Glycemic regulation and the presence of maculopathy are important risk factors for the development of blindness.

We observed a relatively high prevalence of cardiovascular disease risk factors and late diabetes complications in patients with diabetes diagnosed within the previous 2 years.
