History of Changes
  Purpose

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.
