Glucophage or Prandase to delay the onset of type 2 diabetes

August 2002

There's more interest in using Glucophage or Prandase to delay the onset of type 2 diabetes...when lifestyle changes aren't enough.

This goes along with the new emphasis on managing patients with pre-diabetes...postprandial glucose levels 7.8 to 11 mmol/L or fasting levels 6.1 to 6.9 mmol/L.

Lifestyle changes are the most effective. Modest weight loss and exercise reduce the risk of developing diabetes almost 60%.
