What this page will cover

What's actually driving your glucose — and what to do about it.

What pre-diabetes actually means

HbA1c, fasting glucose, and what the numbers mean in context — not just whether they're in range.

Insulin resistance

The mechanism behind pre-diabetes, how to assess it properly, and why treating it early is one of the highest-yield clinical interventions available.

What actually works

Low-carbohydrate diet, time-restricted eating, resistance training, weight loss — what the evidence shows for your situation.

Medication — when and whether

When metformin is appropriate, when it isn't, and what the evidence says about lifestyle intervention first.

The investigation gap

Fasting insulin, HbA1c trends over time, CGM data — the investigations that give the full metabolic picture.

Monitoring and follow-up

Which markers to track, how often, and what improvement looks like on a timeline.
