Abstract
Rates of type 2 diabetes mellitus have risen rapidly over the past three to four decades. This
article describes a typical patient presenting with intermediate hyperglycaemia in primary care.
We suggest the appropriate action to reduce the risk of diabetes developing. Population-level
preventive interventions, and adequate recognition and early management of those at risk of
developing diabetes, could mitigate the impact of this evolving health epidemic.
