  • Insights from genomics, transciptomics, microRNAs, metabolomics, and microbiomes.
  • Progression to type 2 diabetes and development of premature microvascular and macrovascular complications.
  • Approach to prevent progression from prediabetes to type 2 diabetes.
  • Reversal of prediabetes and restoration of normal glucose regulation.
  • Translating diabetes prevention practice in the community.
