Is it true that prediabetes increases the likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes?

Yes. Clinical evidence consistently shows that prediabetes significantly elevates the likelihood of progressing to type 2 diabetes, a transition heavily influenced by factors such as obesity and insulin resistance.

Verdict: SUPPORTED · 5 sources for, 0 against · Last checked 3 Oct 2026

The analysis

The retrieved literature consistently supports the claim that prediabetes serves as an intermediate metabolic state associated with an increased likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes. Multiple observational and intervention studies track progression rates and identify contributing risk factors like BMI and insulin resistance without any studies refuting the fundamental premise.
