Core Tip	Addressing the global impact of diabetes, this review underscores the pivotal role of pre-diabetes as a precursor and the window of opportunity it offers for reducing diabetes risk. While interventions like lifestyle changes and pharmacological treatments prove effective in the short term, sustained implementation remains challenging. The review delves into the potential of medications, including metformin and other agents, shedding light on the current limitations in research and clinical confusion. By providing a comprehensive overview, the paper aims to enhance understanding, enabling more efficient and timely control of diabetes mellitus.
