Complex phenotypic and genetic clustering of individuals who are potentially at increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) can enable the identification of individuals who are likely to develop T2DM and vascular complications. Precision medicine for prediabetes should improve prevention programmes and reduce mortality.
