Prediabetes is important clinical unit with defined diagnostics, pathogenesis and clinical picture. Prediabetes predicts onset of type 2
diabetes mellitus and it also means a significant increase in overall cardiovascular risk as well as a moderate increase in oncologic disease
risk. Prediabetes thus warrants treatment; the therapy consists primarily of regime changes along with patient education, and the
addition of pharmacotherapy using metformin is suitable.
