Pre-diabetes is a major epidemic throughout the world, affecting tens of millions of Americans. Pre- diabetes leads to a twelve times greater risk of developing type 2 diabetes . The condition is reversible with weight loss, a healthy diet and exercise . The pre-diabetes population adds to the 2.6 million people with diabetes in the UK.

Dr. Brian Karet was reported in diabetes news as commenting: "People in general need to realise that small increases in their weight lead to big problems in the future. Small improvements in diet and small increases in exercise will pay dividends."
