Core Tip

Core Tip: Progression of prediabetes to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is severe, but effective interventions can delay or even reverse progression. High body weight is a common phenomenon in people with prediabetes. Unilateral weight-loss intervention may not be sufficient. We analyzed the interaction between body weight and the factors affecting prediabetes progression to T2DM and explored the influence of body weight and other factors, to better guide clinical intervention and reduce progression of prediabetes to T2DM.
