AB  - From 2013-2016, 34.5% of US adults had prediabetes. The U.S. Preventive Services 
      Task Force (USPSTF) recommends screening all adults ages 40 to 70 years with 
      overweight or obesity for abnormal blood glucose, and screening for gestational 
      diabetes in pregnant women after 24 weeks. The American Diabetes Association 
      (ADA) recommends screening all patients older than 45 years for prediabetes and 
      diabetes, and screening earlier for patients with risk factors. Screening in 
      younger patients is based on risk factors. The diagnostic criteria for 
      prediabetes and diabetes require two abnormal test results from the same sample 
      or from two separate samples, in the absence of unequivocal hyperglycemia or 
      symptomatic hyperglycemia. Physical activity and healthy eating patterns continue 
      to be the cornerstones of diabetes prevention. Although no drugs are approved by 
      the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for diabetes prevention, strong evidence 
      supports the use of metformin in adults with prediabetes. In children, metformin 
      use for the prevention of diabetes requires more study. Rates of progression from 
      prediabetes to type 2 diabetes range from 5.8% to 18.3% per year, depending on 
      the population studied.
