Can onset of diabetes be delayed?
Product Description
Question: A 60-year-old female patient has a hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) level of 6% and a fasting plasma glucose level of 109 mg/dL (6.1 mmol/L). Her mother received a diagnosis of diabetes at age 75. Is it possible to delay the onset of overt diabetes in my patient with daily use of metformin hydrochloride or one of the glitazones? Also, if these drugs have a beneficial effect on blood lipid levels, why are they not used for that purpose?
