Description
There are several important issues when applying the rigorous standards and protocols from clinical trials into real-life practice. We should ask ourselves:
•Are the population and the patients groups in Malaysia similar to those being investigated in the clinical trials?
•Are our hospitals following the guidelines set out by the expert committees?
•Are we seeing the same results and benefits of implementing evidence-based strategies?
•Which strategy the best value in terms of cost-effectiveness for the Ministry?

Furthermore, much of what we understand about risk and likelihood of diabetes mellitus and indeed its incidence and prevalence are derived from ‘Western’ data. There is now an increasing awareness of ethnic variations and risk, socio-cultural and socio-economic influences as well as geographical variations. The risk prediction of diabetes mellitus is also unclear and may be different in the patients.
