Early Intervention Alters the Prediabetes Trajectory
Prediabetes is a high-risk state for progression to diabetes with an annualised conversion rate of 5–10%, with a similar proportion converting back to normoglycaemia. Proactive screening and a prompt lifestyle intervention in those with incident prediabetes is effective in preventing the progression to type 2 diabetes in many patients. The addition of metformin has a selectively greater impact in certain categories of patients.
