Can Mounjaro be used for prediabetes?

Mounjaro is not officially licensed in the UK specifically for prediabetes, but research indicates it can significantly reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes in people at high risk, largely due to its strong effects on weight loss and blood sugar control. It is approved in the UK for treating type 2 diabetes and for weight management in adults with obesity or certain weight-related health conditions. Weight loss achieved with Mounjaro is a key factor in lowering diabetes risk, making it a potential option for people with prediabetes under medical supervision.

• Mounjaro is approved in the UK for type 2 diabetes and weight management, not specifically for prediabetes.
• Studies show Mounjaro can reduce the risk of developing diabetes in people with prediabetes, mainly by supporting weight loss and better blood sugar control.
• Weight loss with Mounjaro can help delay or prevent type 2 diabetes, especially for those at high risk.
• Always consult your doctor before starting Mounjaro, as it is only available by prescription and may not be suitable for everyone.
