How is prediabetes cured?

Diet/exercise/meds: "pre-diabetes" can refer to impaired fasting glucose (high blood glucose[bg] before meals; 100-125) or impaired glucose tolerance (bg 140-199 2 hours after glucose load on the oral glucose tolerance test). In some people, this occurs due to metabolic changes that happen when there is too much fat tissue. Diet, exercise, weight loss can help prevent progression to diabetes. Metformin can help.

It's not.: Prediabetes implies the eventual development of diabetes, which is usually genetically predetermined. So at best, aggressive management of prediabetes can delay the onset of diabetes. It's all semantics, but technically diabetes and Prediabetes can be managed but not cured.
