Opis

Diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) is a disease of paramount importance for public health, not only in Mexico but worldwide, for being the most common non-communicable disease, caused by a combination of genetic, environmental and behavioral factors. For this reason, it is necessary to identify patients at high risk of DM2 disease. However, it is important to take into account that the intervention of the health system through the Specific Action Program for the Prevention and Control of Diabetes Mellitus 2013-2018, could benefit the population at risk and impact on the quality of life of sick patients through health promotion. Finally, proposals were included to strengthen the National Strategy, with emphasis on health promotion.
