A member asked:
How fast to people generally advance from prediabetes to being diabetic, if lifestyle has not been altered? is there an average time range? thank you.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Reversibility: Glucose deregulation is a continuum. There's no specific average time since most people don't even know they have prediabetes. One thing we do know is now is the best time to act and make lifestyle changes. The defect is reversible at this time. Good luck.
