A member asked:

If you completely reverse the prediabetes state, is it possible to come back again?can you reverse prediabetes completely?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Prediabetes is: Not a specific entity, just a waystation along the path from normal glycemia to diabetes. You can reverse your progression along that path with weight loss a/o medication a/o bariatric surgery - but can progress further back down the path at a later date. It's all one continuous progression, not separate and individual steps.
