What is prediabetes?
Prediabetes occurs when blood sugar levels are elevated — above normal but below the threshold for type 2 diabetes. It is primarily driven by insulin resistance, a condition in which the body's cells don't respond effectively to insulin.
Without intervention, prediabetes progresses to type 2 diabetes in many people within 5–10 years. The good news: it is reversible with the right treatment and lifestyle changes.
How GLP-1 medications address prediabetes
Improves Insulin Sensitivity
GLP-1 agonists enhance the body's response to insulin, reducing fasting and post-meal blood sugar levels.
Supports Weight Loss
Meaningful weight loss — achievable with GLP-1 therapy — is one of the most effective ways to reverse insulin resistance.
Reduces Progression Risk
Clinical trials show GLP-1 therapy can significantly reduce the risk of prediabetes progressing to type 2 diabetes.
