Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to compare the effects of exenatide versus metformin on vascular health with chronic (3-month) therapy and during a 2-hour period following a meal in patients with pre-diabetes. It is predicted that exenatide will improve vascular health to a greater degree compared to metformin.
