Ah I understand now what you meant. I remember looking into while ago( i have like half my extended family on these drugs now lol) but couldn't really find evidence to support this claim.
"There is only limited-quality evidence that at-risk patients taking GLP-1 receptor agonists are less likely to progress to diabetes (number needed to treat [NNT] = 23). Serious adverse events were more likely in patients taking GLP-1 receptor agonists than in patients taking placebo (number needed to harm [NNH] = 42). There is insufficient evidence to evaluate the effect of DPP-4 inhibitors on at-risk patients. There is no evidence that either medication class affects the development of diabetes-associated complications.1"
