TL;DR: In this article, a European multidisciplinary consortium systematically reviewed the evidence on the effectiveness of screening and interventions for type 2 diabetes (T2DM) prevention using SIGN criteria, and provided evidence-based recommendations for preventing T2DM.

TL;DR: A comprehensive approach to diabetes prevention should combine population based primary prevention with programmes targeted at those who are at high risk, and take account of the local circumstances and diversity within modern society (e.g. social inequalities).

TL;DR: The hypothesis that there is reduced antioxidative defense in type 2 diabetics with prominent cardiovascular complications is confirmed, which negatively correlates with glucose concentrations and duration of diabetes and cardiovascular complications.

TL;DR: The background and the methods used in the development of the IMAGE project quality indicators for diabetes primary prevention programs are described, which constitute the minimum level of quality assurance recommended for diabetes prevention programs.
