Abstract

Aims Early intervention and avoidance or delay of progression to Type 2 diabetes is of enormous benefit to patients in terms of increasing life expectancy and quality of life, and potentially in economic terms for society and health‐care payers. To address the growing impact of Type 2 diabetes the International Diabetes Federation (IDF) Taskforce on Prevention and Epidemiology convened a consensus workshop in 2006. The primary goal of the workshop and this document was the prevention of Type 2 diabetes in both the developed and developing world. A second aim was to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in people who are identified as being at a higher risk of Type 2 diabetes. The IDF plan for prevention of Type 2 diabetes is based on controlling modifiable risk factors and can be divided into two target groups: People at high risk of developing Type 2 diabetes The entire population. Conclusions In planning national measures for the prevention of Type 2 diabetes, both groups should be targeted simultaneously with lifestyle modification the primary goal through a stepwise approach. In addition, it is important that all activities are tailored to the specific local situation. Further information on the prevention of diabetes can be found on the IDF website: http://www.idf.org/prevention .

  • Early intervention is critical to improve the progression of complications and reduce the long-term cost of diabetes.

    “Early intervention has been shown to be critical to improve the progression of the complications and reduce the cost of the disease in the long term [7].”

    From A Novel Testing Model for Opportunistic Screening of Pre-Diabetes and Diabetes among U.S. Adults (2015) · cites this paper as [7]

    The IDF strategy for diabetes prevention section says early detection and intervention can reduce the incidence of diabetes and its complications. The Health economics section describes economic benefits as potential and says long-term cost savings from avoided complications are not yet established by follow-up data. The claim overstates the evidence by presenting a reduction in long-term costs as demonstrated. (LLM, conf=0.88)

  • PCOS is identified by the International Diabetes Federation as an independent risk factor for type 2 diabetes.

    “PCOShasbeenidentified by the International Diabetes Federation as an independent risk factor for DM2 (Alberti et al. , 2007); hence the role of metformin and lifestyle in preventing DM2 in PCOS is highly relevant.”

    From Metformin and lifestyle modification in polycystic ovary syndrome: systematic review and meta-analysis (2015) · cites this paper as Alberti et al. , 2007

    The Causes of diabetes and Other risk factors sections discuss type 2 diabetes risk factors, but the available passages do not mention PCOS or identify it as an independent risk factor. Searches for “PCOS,” “polycystic,” and “polycystic ovarian syndrome” found no such statement; the indexed copy of Table 1 contains only its heading and a partial header. (LLM, conf=0.70)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured
  • PCOS is listed by the International Diabetes Federation as a non-modifiable risk factor for DM2.

    “In this context, PCOS is listed by the International Diabetes Federation as a non-modifiable risk factor for DM2. 106”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
