TL;DR
Jump Into Action was found effective in increasing knowledge and self-efficacy regarding NIDDM prevention and improving dietary and exercise-related behaviors.
Abstract
Jump Into Action, a school-based non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) prevention program, encourages students to eat low-fat foods and exercise regularly to reduce their risks for developing NIDDM. A study was conducted in a school district with a predominately Hispanic enrollment to assess the effectiveness of Jump Into Action in improving fifth-graders' knowledge, self-efficacy, and behaviors regarding NIDDM prevention. Jump Into Action was found effective in increasing knowledge and self-efficacy regarding NIDDM prevention and improving dietary and exercise-related behaviors. These gains were sustained from posttest to follow-up four weeks later.

It is concluded that long-term intervention in the form of diet and physical exercise is feasible even on a large scale, and that substantial metabolic improvement can be achieved which may contribute to prevent or postpone manifest diabetes.

Concordance for Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes was determined in 250 monozygotic and 264 dizygotic white male twin pairs who participated in the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute Twin Study, and a strong genetic predisposition to Type 2 diabetes was suggested.

The prevalence of diabetes was two to three times greater for Mexican Americans and Puerto Ricans than for non-Hispanic whites surveyed in 1976–1980 and the total prevalence was significantly lower for Cubans.

The incidence of type II diabetes in Mexican Americans is greater than in non-Hispanic whites, a difference that is not explained by ethnic differences in obesity, age, or level of educational attainment.

166 Citations1983Craig L. Hanis, Robert E. Ferrell +6 more
Comparisons of the rates in Starr County to those of the general US population indicate a two- to fivefold greater risk of diabetes mellitus among Mexican Americans, implying that over 50% of individuals older than 35 years are directly affected by diabetes by virtue of their having the disease or by being a first-degree relative of a diabetic.
Diabetes CareRole of Obesity and Fat Distribution in Non-insulin-dependent Diabetes Mellitus in Mexican Americans and Non-Hispanic Whites
128 Citations1986Steven M. Haffner, Michael P. Stern +4 more
While both BMI and centrality narrow the ethnic difference in NIDDM prevalence, Mexican Americans still have an increased risk of NID DM, suggesting that other factors, possibly genetic, may also be important determinants of the ethnic differences in N IDDM prevalence.

In this age group in a Caucasian population, not only does insulin resistance precede glucose intolerance and NIDDM, but also loss of early insulin response indicating impaired beta-cell function to be an early feature of the process culminating in diabetes is suggested.

Both relative weight and 2-h plasma glucose in youth in those with diabetic parents are highly predictive of subsequent diabetes, and these may be the best measures currently available for identifying high-risk subjects in whom preventive measures might be targeted.

The adoption of a western lifestyle and improvements in socioeconomic conditions are at least partially responsible for the very high rates of diabetes among several ethnic and racial groups, although the specific components of these changes that contribute to development of non-insulin-dependent diabetes are still uncertain.
