Prediabetes: a high-risk state for diabetes development
Open accessAbstract
Prediabetes (intermediate hyperglycaemia) is a high-risk state for diabetes that is defined by glycaemic variables that are higher than normal, but lower than diabetes thresholds. 5-10% of people per year with prediabetes will progress to diabetes, with the same proportion converting back to normoglycaemia. Prevalence of prediabetes is increasing worldwide and experts have projected that more than 470 million people will have prediabetes by 2030. Prediabetes is associated with the simultaneous presence of insulin resistance and β-cell dysfunction-abnormalities that start before glucose changes are detectable. Observational evidence shows associations between prediabetes and early forms of nephropathy, chronic kidney disease, small fibre neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy, and increased risk of macrovascular disease. Multifactorial risk scores using non-invasive measures and blood-based metabolic traits, in addition to glycaemic values, could optimise estimation of diabetes risk. For prediabetic individuals, lifestyle modification is the cornerstone of diabetes prevention, with evidence of a 40-70% relative-risk reduction. Accumulating data also show potential benefits from pharmacotherapy.

“Individual risk factors for diabetes (eg history of gestational diabetes, first degree relative with diabetes) or a combination of risk factors (eg metabolic syndrome) can also be used to define populations at-risk for diabetes but their predictive value is poorer than that of prediabetes.”

The paper’s introductory text says insulin resistance is well established long before any impairment in glucose homeostasis in populations with a high prevalence of type 2 diabetes. The Discussion reports declining beta-cell function even in people with normal glucose tolerance, before the onset of impaired glucose tolerance. The paper does not quantify the interval in years; pages are not specified in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.88)

This source is attached to the decreased-HRV claim, not the separately cited claims about postural heart-rate changes, erectile dysfunction, or other autonomic tests. The Abstract reports lower HRV in people with nondiabetic hyperinsulinemia, but the Conclusions report no sizable HRV difference between normal and impaired fasting glucose and no measurably faster HRV decline with either prediabetic impairment. It therefore supports a narrower association than the unqualified statement about prediabetes. (LLM, conf=0.85)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
A language model drew the claims from the paper on 2026-10-05, under version 3 of the claim definition (model deepseek-v4.1-flash, prompt extract-v3).
A second model labelled each claim on 2026-10-05 (model jev-1.13-20260917, definition revision gold-guideline-v0.2).
Cited sources are checked with a language model’s help (gpt-6-sol).
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
