Metabolomic profiles associated with subtypes of prediabetes among Mexican Americans in Starr County, Texas, USA

To understand the complex metabolic changes that occur long before the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, we investigated differences in metabolomic profiles in plasma between prediabetic and normoglycaemic individuals for subtypes of prediabetes defined by fasting glucose, 2 h glucose and HbA1c measures.
