Abstract
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) affects an estimated 463 million adults worldwide, nearly 80% of whom live in low- and middle-income countries. Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) are among the regions with the fastest-growing T2DM prevalence, with ~32 million affected individuals- Against this background, the SIAC Prevention Council (SIAC-PREVENT) developed regionally adapted, equity-oriented recommendations for the preventive management of cardiovascular complications in T2DM.
