Patients with prediabetes have functional changes that can be measured in the retina before the diagnosis of diabetes, with the L'Anthony D-15 colour vision test providing the strongest association with glucose dysregulation in this population. This has important implications for follow up and screening for diabetes within optometric practices. Further studies are needed to follow these patients over time to see how and when these metrics change.
