All:

For the past number of years, doctors have been encouraging patients to get out there and exercise, now a 10 year study led by Dr. David M. Nathan of Massachusetts General Hospital has definite measurable results that prove lifestyle changes can forestall diabetes in high risk groups.  Dr. Nathan published the study results in the current issue of the medical journal Lancet.  

"In the 10 years, participants in the original lifestyle-change group delayed the onset of diabetes by an average of four years compared with the placebo group, and those in the metformin group delayed it by an average of two years. "

Will this break through medical study announcement be enough encouragement to change your life style habits if you are a non 'exerciser'?
