Rethinking diabetes prevention: 🩺Type 2 diabetes risk develops long before diagnosis. DZD researcher highlights the need for earlier, personalised prevention across the life course, aiming to preserve or restore metabolic health. ➡️https://t1p.de/3pfqj #DiabetesPrevention #MetabolicHealth
Infographic titled “Diabetes Prevention Across the Life Course.” Six circular icons arranged from left to right represent different stages of life: preconception, pregnancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and healthy aging. The icons include stylized figures symbolizing each life stage, shown in different colors on a light gray background. The graphic highlights that diabetes prevention should be considered throughout the entire life course, from before pregnancy through older age.
