The marked increase in newly diagnosed cases of type 2 diabetes is a major public health concern within the European Union. However, it has been shown that prevention programmes can significantly reduce the risk of developing diabetes. The challenge is to implement proven intervention methods effectively into clinical reality. To achieve this, action is needed in the field of policy development. Targeted intervention programmes, especially to address the needs of people at increased diabetes risk are required for clinical and community-based healthcare professionals and for the general population. Herein we try to address some of the questions arising during the implementation of a prevention management concept into clinical practice. Br J Diabetes Vasc Dis 2008; 8: 295—298
