Elevated fasting serum xylitol levels are associated with a lower risk of incident type 2 diabetes among individuals with prediabetes in the Chinese population
Elevated baseline fasting serum xylitol levels are associated with a lower risk of prediabetes progressing to diabetes. This association was particularly evident in those with fasting hyperglycemia. These findings suggest that fasting serum xylitol levels may serve as an important predictor and protective factor against the development of diabetes.
