In a median follow up of 30 months, three year cumulative incidence of diabetes were 55.0%, 39.3%, 40.5% and 39.5% in group 1 to 4 respectively. The relative risk reduction was 28.5% with LSM (95 % confidence interval (CI), (20.5 - 37.3), (p=0.018), 26.4% with MET (95% CI, 19.1 - 35.1) (p = 0.029) and 28.2% with LSM plus MET (95% CI, 20.3 - 37.0), (P=0.022) versus control group. The numbers needed to treat to prevent one incident case of diabetes were 6.4 for LSM, 6.9 for MET and 6.5 for LSM+MET.
