The diagnosis of type 2 diabetes mellitus is often preceded by prediabetes, a stage during which blood glucose levels are greater than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnostic of diabetes.1 About 84 million people in the United States have prediabetes; a number equivalent to approximately one in three adults.1 Without intervention, an unknown, but likely significant proportion of these people will develop type 2 diabetes. However, the progression from prediabetes to type 2 diabetes is not inevitable and can be interrupted with diabetes prevention programs (DPPs) comprising low-cost, structured lifestyle change interventions including improved eating habits and increased physical activity.
