Core Tip	With more than 400 million people having diabetes mellitus (DM), this disease emerges as one of the biggest public health challenges of our current times. However, one of the most significant public health advances in the study of DM is the demonstration that it can be prevented by the implementation of effective interventions targeting the factors that exacerbate the risk of the disease. Spatially informed tailored strategies that allocate resources in the high-risk areas where the most vulnerable populations reside would be an effective approach aimed to control and reduce the burden of the disease. Spatially explicit community-level policy interventions would offer great promise in effectively addressing the obesogenic and diabetogenic environment aimed to control the global DM epidemic.
