Sean Duffy, Omada Health, Q1: Why Focus on Prediabetes?

Sean Duffy, Omada Health, talks about why PreventNow is focused on prediabetes rather than diabetes. He explains that it was interesting to his team because of a broad clinical consensus that there is a fantastic opportunity to intervene and make a huge difference in someone’s life. A national framework already exists which is there for diabetes programs which could be utilized. Also, with prediabetes, focusing on lifestyle is possible without yet having the clinical knowledge for treatment of full-blown diabetes with medication which his team is working towards but doesn’t yet have.
