Interest has arisen in preventing diabetes due to research on the benefits of treating patients before overt diabetes.

==Treatment==
Diabetes mellitus type 2 is a chronic, progressive disease that has no medically proven cure. There are two main goals of treatment of the disease:
# reduction of mortality and concomitant morbidity (from assorted diabetic complications)
# preservation of quality of life
The first goal can be achieved through close glycemic control (i.e., blood glucose levels); the reduction effect in diabetic complications has been well demonstrated in several extensive [[clinical trial]]s and is thus well established. The second goal is often addressed (in developed countries) by support and care from teams of diabetic health workers (physician, PA, nurse, dietitian or a certified diabetic educator). Endocrinologists, family practitioners, and general internists are the types of physicians most likely to treat people with diabetes.  Knowledgeable patient participation is vital and so patient education is a crucial aspect of this effort.
Type 2 is initially treated by adjustment in diet and exercise, and by  [[weight loss]], especially in obese patients. The amount of weight loss which improves the clinical picture is sometimes modest (2-5 kg or 4.4-11 lb); this is almost certainly due to currently poorly understood aspects of fat tissue chemical signaling (especially in visceral fat tissue in and around abdominal organs). In many cases, such initial efforts can substantially restore insulin sensitivity.
===Treatment goals===
For most patients, [[clinical practice guideline]]s recommend a goal [[Glycosylated hemoglobin|Hba1c]] of 6.0%<ref name="pmid16373931">{{cite journal |author= |title=Standards of medical care in diabetes--2006 |journal=Diabetes Care |volume=29 Suppl 1 |issue= |pages=S4–42 |year=2006 |pmid=16373931 |doi=}}</ref> to 7.0%<ref name="pmidpending">Qaseem A, Vijan S, Snow V, Cross JT, Weiss KB, Owens DK, et al. Glycemic Control and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: The Optimal Hemoglobin A1c Targets. A Guidance Statement from the American College of Physicians. Ann Intern Med. 2007 Sep 18;147(6):417-422. [http://www.annals.org/cgi/content/full/147/6/417 Full text]</ref>.
In older patients, [[clinical practice guideline]]s by the [[American Geriatrics Society]] states "for frail older adults, persons with life expectancy of less than 5 years, and others in whom the risks of intensive glycemic control appear to outweigh the benefits, a less stringent target such as 8% is appropriate".<ref name="pmid12694461">{{cite journal |author=Brown AF, Mangione CM, Saliba D, Sarkisian CA |title=Guidelines for improving the care of the older person with diabetes mellitus |journal=Journal of the American Geriatrics Society |volume=51 |issue=5 Suppl Guidelines |pages=S265–80 |year=2003 |pmid=12694461 |doi=10.1046/j.1532-5415.51.5s.1.x|url=http://www.americangeriatrics.org/products/positionpapers/JAGSfinal05.pdf}}</ref>
===Self monitoring of blood glucose===
{{main|Blood glucose monitoring}}
It is unclear if self-monitoring of blood glucose improves outcomes among "reasonably well controlled non-insulin treated patients with type 2 diabetes".<ref name="pmid17591623">{{cite journal |author=Farmer A, Wade A, Goyder E, ''et al'' |title=Impact of self monitoring of blood glucose in the management of patients with non-insulin treated diabetes: open parallel group randomised trial |journal= |volume= |issue= |pages= |year=2007 |pmid=17591623 |doi=10.1136/bmj.39247.447431.BE}}</ref>
===Dietary management===
Modifying the diet is known to help control glucose intake, and in response, blood glucose levels.
One 2007 study will report that in a [[Paleolithic diet]], all 14 patients returned blood glucose levels to normal after the trial period of 12 weeks, and improved glucose tolerance (26% less blood glucose rise following a carbohydrate intake compared to 7% reduction for control group on a Mediterranean diet). This was the first Paleolithic diet study, and suggested that "it may be more efficient to avoid some of our modern foods than to count calories or carbohydrate".<ref>{{cite news |title=Original Human 'Stone Age' Diet Is Good For People With Diabetes, Study Finds |url=http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2007/06/070627225459.htm |date=June 28, 2007 |publisher=ScienceDaily.com}}</ref>
Other evidence for modified diets treating and being beneficial include:

===Exercise===
In September 2007, a joint [[randomized controlled trial]] by the University of Calgary and the University of Ottawa found that "Either aerobic or resistance training alone improves glycemic control in type 2 diabetes, but the improvements are greatest with combined aerobic and resistance training than either alone."<ref name="pmid17876019">{{cite journal |author=Sigal RJ, Kenny GP, Boulé NG, ''et al'' |title=Effects of aerobic training, resistance training, or both on glycemic control in type 2 diabetes: a randomized trial |journal=Ann.

===Antidiabetic drugs===
[[Image:Metformin 500mg Tablets.jpg|200px|thumb|Metformin 500mg tablets]]
{{main|anti-diabetic drug}}
The most important drug now used in Type 2 Diabetes is the [[Biguanide]] [[metformin]] which works primarily by reducing liver release of blood glucose from glycogen stores as well as some increase in uptake of glucose by the body's tissues. Both historically and currently commonly used are the [[Sulfonylurea]] group, of which several members (including [[glibenclamide]] and [[gliclazide]]) are widely used; these increase glucose stimulated [[secretagogue|insulin secretion]] by the pancreas.
Newer drug classes include:
* [[Thiazolidinedione]]s ([[TZD]]s) ([[rosiglitazone]], [[pioglitazone]], and [[troglitazone]]) (withdrawn from the US market)
* [[Alpha-glucosidase inhibitor|α-glucosidase inhibitors]] ([[acarbose]] and [[miglitol]])
* [[Meglitinide]]s which stimulate insulin release ([[nateglinide]], [[repaglinide]], and their analogs)
* Peptide analogs which work in a variety of ways:
** Incretin mimetics act as insulin secretagogue among other effects. These includes the Glucagon-like peptide (GLP) analog [[exenatide]]
** [[Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitors|Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors]] increase [[Incretin]] levels ( [[sitagliptin]])
** Amylin agonist analog, which slows gastric emptying and suppresses glucagon ([[pramlintide]])
====Selecting an antidiabetic drug====
=====Oral drugs=====
A systematic review of randomized controlled trials found that [[metformin]] and second-generation sulfonylureas are the preferred choices for most.<ref>Bolen S et al. Systematic Review: [http://www.annals.org/cgi/content/full/0000605-200709180-00178v1 Comparative Effectiveness and Safety of Oral Medications for Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus]. Ann Intern Med 2007;147:6
</ref> Failure of response after a time is not unknown with most of these agents: the initial choice of anti-diabetic drug has been compared in a [[randomized controlled trial]] which found "cumulative incidence of monotherapy failure at 5 years of 15% with rosiglitazone, 21% with metformin, and 34% with glyburide".<ref name="pmid17145742">

</ref>
For patients who also have heart failure, [[metformin]] may be the best drug.<ref name="pmid17761999">{{cite journal |author=Eurich DT, McAlister FA, Blackburn DF, ''et al'' |title=Benefits and harms of antidiabetic agents in patients with diabetes and heart failure: systematic review |journal=BMJ |volume=335 |issue=7618 |pages=497 |year=2007 |pmid=17761999 |doi=10.1136/bmj.39314.620174.80}}</ref>
=====Insulin preparations=====
=====Starting insulin=====
If [[antidiabetic drug]]s fail (or stop helping), [[insulin]] therapy may be necessary -- usually in addition to oral medication therapy -- to maintain normal glucose levels.
Typical total daily dosage of insulin is 0.6 U/kg.<ref name="pmid10068412"/> More complicated estimations to  guide initial dosage of insulin are:<ref name="pmid2951066">{{cite journal |author=Holman RR, Turner RC |title=A practical guide to basal and prandial insulin therapy |journal=Diabet.

* For men, [(fasting plasma glucose [mmol/liter]–5)x2] x (weight [kg]÷(14.3xheight [m])–height [m])
* For women, [(fasting plasma glucose [mmol/liter]–5)x2] x (weight [kg]÷(13.2xheight [m])–height [m])

When nightly insulin is insufficient, choices include:
* Premixed insulin with a fixed ratio of short and intermediate acting insulin; this tends to be more effective than long acting insulin, but is associated with more hypoglycemia.<ref name="pmid17890232">{{cite journal |author=Holman RR, Thorne KI, Farmer AJ, ''et al'' |title=Addition of Biphasic, Prandial, or Basal Insulin to Oral Therapy in Type 2 Diabetes |journal=N.

* Long acting insulins such as [[insulin glargine]] and [[insulin detemir]].

===Alternative Medicines===
[[Carnitine]] has been shown to increase insulin sensitivity and glucose storage in humans. <ref name="AMC study">{{cite journal | title=L-Carnitine Improves Glucose Disposal in Type 2 Diabetic Patients| journal=Journal of the American College of Nutrition| author=Geltrude Mingrone, Aldo V. Greco, Esmeralda Capristo, Giuseppe Benedetti, Annalisa Giancaterini, Andrea De Gaetano, and Giovanni Gasbarrini |year=1999 |volume=18 |issue=1 |pages=77-82 |url=http://www.jacn.org/cgi/content/full/18/1/77}}</ref>. It is important to note that this was with a constant blood infusion, not an oral dose, and that the clinical significance of this result is unclear.
[[Taurine]] has also shown significant improvement in [[insulin sensitivity]] and [[hyperlipidemia]] in rats.<ref name="Japanese rats">{{cite journal | title=Taurine improves insulin sensitivity in the Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty rat, a model of spontaneous type 2 diabetes |authors=Yutaka Nakaya, Asako Minami, Nagakatsu Harada, Sadaichi Sakamoto, Yasuharu Niwa and Masaharu Ohnaka |date January 2000 |journal=American Journal of Clinical Nutrition |volume= 71 |issue= 1 |pages=54-58 |url=http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/full/71/1/54}}</ref>
Neither of these have shown permanent positive effects, nor a complete restoration to pre-diabetes conditions, only improvement. Their clinical importance in humans remains unclear.
===Antihypertensive agents===
{{main|Antihypertensive}}
The goal blood pressure is 130/80 which is lower than in non-diabetic patients.<ref name="pmid12748199">{{cite journal |author=Chobanian AV, Bakris GL, Black HR, ''et al'' |title=The Seventh Report of the Joint National Committee on Prevention, Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Pressure: the JNC 7 report |journal=JAMA |volume=289 |issue=19 |pages=2560-72 |year=2003 |pmid=12748199 |doi=10.1001/jama.289.19.2560}}</ref>
===ACE inhibitors===
The HOPE study suggests that diabetics should be treated with [[ACE inhibitors]] (specifically [[ramipril]] 10 mg/d) if they have one of the following <ref name="pmid10639539">{{cite journal |author=Yusuf S, Sleight P, Pogue J, Bosch J, Davies R, Dagenais G |title=Effects of an angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor, ramipril, on cardiovascular events in high-risk patients. The Heart Outcomes Prevention Evaluation Study Investigators |journal=N. Engl. J. Med. |volume=342 |issue=3 |pages=145-53 |year=2000 |pmid=10639539 |doi=}}</ref>:
* [[hypertension]]
* [[hypercholesterolemia]] or reduced low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels
* cigarette smoking
* [[microalbuminuria]]
After treatment with [[ramipril]] for 5 years the [[number needed to treat]] was 50 patients to prevent one cardiovascular death. Other [[ACE inhibitors]] may not be as effective.<ref name="pmid15262665">{{cite journal |author=Pilote L, Abrahamowicz M, Rodrigues E, Eisenberg MJ, Rahme E |title=Mortality rates in elderly patients who take different angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors after acute myocardial infarction: a class effect? |journal=Ann.
