However, it is more important to find high-risk groups for diabetes and actively prevent it. Prevention of diabetes is first of all a proper diet. It cannot be emphasized enough. However, it is difficult to do in reality and has the disadvantage of lowering the quality of life. In this case, if drug therapy can be done together, it will be more helpful to the participants. In that respect, metformin, which is most commonly used, is also effective in preventing diabetes. According to a study conducted over 15 years, metformin significantly suppressed the occurrence of diabetes compared to the control group. It was especially effective in people with glycated hemoglobin of 6.0-6.4% and those with a history of gestational diabetes. The problem is that cheap and safe drugs like metformin have not yet been approved for the purpose of preventing diabetes in pre-diabetics. I hope that the relevant academic societies, organizations, and the government will discuss together and change the indications so that anyone who wants it can use it, even if it is not covered by insurance.
