Good Morning I am needing a 6 page paper answering the following areas of a research paper that I did..
Diabetes is a serious, preventable disease that strikes about 21 million Americans.
We can use knowledge of family history to prevent type 2 diabetes.
Type-2 diabetes has become one of the leading causes of morbidity and early mortality in most countries. It is expected that its prevalence will double by 2030 and that it will become the seventh leading cause of death worldwide. Diabetes is a significant cause of blindness, kidney failure, cardiovascular disease, reductions in quality of life, and premature death. Type 2 Diabetes is causing much human suffering; it imparts significant economic burdens, costing an estimated annual $174 billion in the USA alone. Diabetes is causing an increasing burden on medical care systems and resources everywhere.
The translation of evidence-based interventions into routine clinical conditions is a complex challenge, and consequently, there is a gap between what is known to be effective. This growing field of implementation research, one of the essential aspects considered in order to ascertain how to enhance the effectiveness, feasibility, and sustainability of interventions is their process of implementation .
The primary strategy was a high-risk strategy, the aim of which was to include prevention of diabetes and reduction of cardiovascular risk factor levels among high-risk individuals in daily routines in health care centers and occupational health care outpatient clinics.

Lifestyle changes
Learn about your family history
Work with doctor to monitor health closely.
It runs in family: one or more of your relatives had a disease
Eat a healthy diet
Be physically active.
Introduction
Prevention
Environment and behavior are modifiable risk factors
Genetic make-up is a non-modifiable risk factor
You can prevent disease by changing modifiable risk factors
Using Family History For Prevention
You are overweight.
You are 45 years of age or older.
Your parent or sibling has type 2 diabetes.
You are physically active fewer than 3 times per week.
You ever gave birth to a baby that weighed more than 9 pounds.
You ever had diabetes while pregnant (gestational diabetes).
Race and ethnicity also affect your risk. African Americans, Hispanic/Latino Americans, American Indians, Pacific Islanders, and some Asian Americans are at particularly high risk for type 2 diabetes.
Following are the percentage of people in the United States with diagnosed diabetes from 2010 to 2012 among people aged 20 or older, by race and ethnicity:

If you have prediabetes, losing a small amount of weight if you’re overweight and getting regular physical activity can lower your risk for developing type 2 diabetes. A small amount of weight loss means around 5% to 7% of your body weight.
Early detection is vital to identify early, and begin early intervention.
Interventions can reduce the rate of progression from prediabetes to diabetes.
Screening should begin when two of the following risk factors is encountered.
Identify those at risk With: SAFE acronym.
