Recently, there are doctors that have become hesitant to recommend a drug called Metformin to treat prediabetes. There is one study that suggested a lifestyle program was more beneficial for some groups in controlling both weight and blood glucose control than using Metformin as the primary means for controlling these. The studies followed the progress of people both at low risk and high risk for developing diabetes. The study followed a third group that used a placebo instead of the medicine. In all cases, the group undergoing a lifestyle program benefited more than those that simply took a pill. Weight loss was the primary determining factor in measuring success for the study participants and that could be a limitation.<\/p>\n
