D and PA+D  interventions had larger effects on glucose reduction  than PA alone .
Lifestyle  interventions significantly improved FPG , HbA1c , FI , HOMA-IR , and bodyweight among adults without IGT or diabetes , and might reduce progression of hyperglycemia to type 2 diabetes mellitus
This study systematic ally assessed the effectiveness of lifestyle interventions on glycemic indicators among adults ( ⩾18years ) without IGT or diabetes .
Translation of the Diabetes Prevention Program for diabetes risk reduction in Chinese immigrants in New York City.
AIMS To evaluate the effectiveness and feasibility of implementing a linguistically and culturally tailored Diabetes Prevention Program among Chinese immigrants with prediabetes living in New York City . METHODS A total of 60 Chinese immigrants with prediabetes were r and omized into either a Diabetes Prevention Program lifestyle intervention ( n = 30 ) consisting of 12 bi-weekly core sessions and six monthly post-core sessions or the control intervention ( n = 30 ) , consisting of quarterly mailing of diabetes prevention information . Each Diabetes Prevention Program intervention session lasted 1.5 - 2 h and covered topics such as healthy eating , physical activity , stress reduction and problem-solving skills . Outcomes such as percent change in weight , BMI , and HbA1c concentration were assessed at baseline , 6 and 12 months . A mixed-effects linear regression was applied to test the intervention effect at months 6 and 12 . Data were collected in the period 2012 - 2013 and analysed in 2014 . RESULTS The participant attrition rate was < 5 % ( 2 out of 60 ) at 12 months . There was a significantly greater percent weight loss in the intervention group ( -3.5 vs. -0.1 % ; P = 0.0001 ) at 6 months , which was largely maintained at 12 months ( -3.3 vs. 0.3 % ; P = 0.0003 ) . CONCLUSIONS Participants in a Diabetes Prevention Program-based intervention achieved greater weight loss and improvements in HbA1c concentration than control participants . Evaluation of the Chinese Diabetes Prevention Program curriculum in a larger trial is warranted
