[QUOTE="CheeseJunkie, post: 846289"] I was reading around this last week, and came across a figure (?where). Something along the lines of 'of those individuals diagnosed as pre-diabetic, n%-m% go on to develop diabetes within 5 years'. The m-figure was 70%, the n-figure was something like 35%. The range is presumably as different studies in different places came up with different results. Also bear in mind different places (countries) have different definitions of pre-diabetes (US = 5.7% and upwards, UK = 6% and upwards). (I also spotted a US paper where they were considering the impact of brining down further from 5.7% the definition of pre-diabetes. It seems to be a moveable feast, depending on perceived healthcare impact.) [/QUOTE]
