During the past 40 years, the prevalence of diabetes in China has increased from less than 1·0% in 1980 to 12·4% in 2018, an increase in line with the rapid growth of the nation's economy. To address such a burden, the Healthy China 2030 initiative and subsequent Action Plan, including a diabetes prevention and control campaign, were launched. A shift from a disease-centred approach to a health-centred approach and from treatment to prevention is the core of the Action Plan and diabetes management in China. In this Review, we discuss the challenges of diabetes prevention in China, including unhealthy lifestyle, increasing young-onset type 2 diabetes, and substantial diabetes care disparities. To address such challenges, countermeasures across different stages of diabetes prevention and targeted at different populations, are needed. Such countermeasures include primordial prevention of risk factors in the general population, primary prevention of diabetes onset in high-risk populations, and secondary prevention of cardiovascular complications for individuals with diabetes. We reflect on China's current progress, strategies, and achievements.

Aims: Skin disorders occur more frequently with sodium-dependent glucose cotransporter type 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors than with other antidiabetic drugs. We conducted basic research using ipragliflozin, with the aim of identifying new measures to prevent skin disorders caused by SGLT2 inhibitors.

Methods: db/db type 2 diabetes model mice were orally administered ipragliflozin (10 mg/kg or 30 mg/kg) once a day for 28 days and skin function genes were analysed by real-time RT-PCR or Western blotting.
