Causes and prevention of diabetes were the focus of a study by the University of Hawaii’s John A. Burns School of Medicine.
One of the findings from the 16-year long study is that Hawaii has the highest rate of diabetes in the country. That’s one of the reasons the medical school was involved in a study on its prevention and treatment.
“We decided early on that there are many different interventions that could prevent diabetes,” said school professor Dr. Richard Arakaki, “and certainly lifestyle, where we have people increase their physical activity and decrease their weight, is probably the most obvious intervention.”
