Abstract
“To predict”, according to The Living Webster Encyclopedic Dictionary of the English Language, is to foretell, to prophesy. What has predicting to do with diabetes? Think. Prediction might allow interference, interference and possibly prevention of the disease and/or its complications. If we can identify those people who will get diabetes, we may be able to disrupt the march toward full blown illness.
