The answer: It all depends on the HbA1c. if it is more than 6.75 the anser is like yes unless you can lose a bunch of weight.

Prediabetes.: Medications are not necessary for prediabetes, only lifestyle measures such as high fiber diet with complex carbohydrates, smaller more frequent meals, leaner proteins, regular aerobic exercise and weight training and weight reduction if necessary. Supplementing cinnamon and chromium can help as well.
