Abstract: Diabetes type 2 prevalence is high, about 10% of US population. Prediabetes is even more common, about 3 times higher than diabetes, approaching 30% of population. Diabetes is defined by confirmed A1c ≥6.5%, while prediabetes is any A1c between 5.7-6.5%. ADA guidelines conceptualize prediabetes as an entity that places individuals at higher risk of progression to full diabetes. However recent studies have shown that prediabetes alone, in the absence of diabetes, can still increase the risk of clinical complications.
