- Abstract
The article discusses various types of prevention and screening programs for diabetes mellitus (DM). Primordial prevention pertains to prevention of exposure to risk factors while primary prevention refers to health education against sedentary lifestyle. The types of screening programs for diabetics include mass screening, high risk or selective screening, and multiphasic screening. One of the advantages of DM screening is minimized treatment cost in cases where dietary and lifestyle modification might be enough.
