Diabetes increases the risk of disability and fatal complications, but a study found that individuals with prediabetes can reduce risks by delaying the onset of diabetes by four years. Lifestyle changes such as diet and exercise can help in delaying diabetes. The study followed 540 prediabetic individuals over 30 years, finding that delaying diabetes for at least four years reduced the risk of death and cardiovascular events. The study suggests that interventions targeting those with impaired glucose tolerance can be effective in preventing diabetes and related complications. However, the study has limitations including a small participant pool and its focus on Chinese ethnicity.
