Abstract
Diabetes mellitus type 2, DM2-is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycaemia. This feature causes vascular and nerve disorders that are the basis of long-term complications. The twin-DM2 due to both its aetiology and its broad preclinical period allows strategies to be made that prevent or delay its onset (primary prevention) or to allow early detection (secondary prevention), or once diagnosed, delay or prevent the onset of complications (tertiary prevention). The application or screening tests for the disease is still a controversial issue and hygienic use of dietary or pharmacological treatments in pre-diabetics is recommended to decrease the incidence of this disease.
