Conclusion: Evidence has shown that pragmatic diabetes prevention interventions are effective. There are substantial variation between programs but can be improved if behavioral theories are used to underpin program interventions. However, further research is required to establish best strategies for maximizing long term maintenance of diabetes prevention effects.
BACKGROUND:.
The worldwide increase in incidence and prevalence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) has become a major concern of the public health (WHO, 2013). The growth of cases of T2DM has attained an epidemic numbers, and the epidemic is anticipated to maintain its rise.T According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA) (2011), the global populations of 347 million have diabetes and ninety per cent of that population is T2DM. The World Health Organization (WHO) (2013) predicted that by the year 2030 the prevalence of T2DM would be 438 million. In the United States (US), about 25.8 million (8.3% of US. population) have T2DM, and this shows to affect all races and social class (ADA, 2011). In the United Kingdom (UK), about 2.3 million of the population are diagnosed with T2DM and are estimated to rise to five million by 2025; this is as a result of an increase in the population of older people (Diabetes UK, 2012). In addition, the mortality rate of about fifteen per cent of death among people of 20 to 79 years are attributed to T2DM in UK, globally it is estimated as the seventh leading cause of death (Diabetes UK, 2012, and WHO, 2013). .
The cost of funding healthcare facilities and program are resources consuming both in developed and developing countries (Economic Intelligent Unit, 2007). It cost the UK National Health Service (NHS) £10 billion to manage people affected with T2DM annually (10% of the NHS Budget) (NHS, 2011). In the US the cost continues to rise to $245 billion in 2012 from $174 billion in 2007 (ADA, 2014).
