One Prediabetes Subgroup Kept Sliding Toward Diabetes Despite Years of Sustained Weight Loss

People classified in what researchers call Tübingen type 2 diabetes risk cluster 5 lost roughly 8 percent of their body weight and kept it off for years.
The confirmed finding is that in this analysis, one high-risk prediabetes subgroup showed worsening glucose and the steepest decline in insulin secretion despite sustained weight loss of about 8 percent.
People in Tübingen type 2 diabetes risk cluster 5 had worsening blood glucose, the steepest decline in insulin secretion among the clusters, and continued high diabetes risk despite sustained weight loss of about 8 percent.
Six subtypes of prediabetes were identified in 2021 that differ in diabetes risk and complication patterns.
Clusters 1, 2, and 4 are lower risk; clusters 3, 5, and 6 are higher.
