Editorial & Evidence Policy

Public Learn articles are authored under the name Prediabetes.Life. Prediabetes.life is operated by Sierre Technologies LLC. We separate the editorial byline from the legal operator so readers can see both who the content is presented by and which company is responsible for the service.

For medical and public-health facts, we prefer sources in roughly this order:

1. 1.Current U.S. government health guidance and primary public-health sources, including CDC and NIH/NIDDK.
2. 2.Current professional clinical guidelines when a government source does not adequately answer the question.
3. 3.Peer-reviewed original research or systematic reviews when a topic requires evidence beyond public guidance.
4. 4.Secondary educational sources only when they add useful context and do not replace a stronger primary source.

We do not use search-engine rankings, social-media popularity, supplement marketing, or influencer claims as evidence of medical effectiveness.

We distinguish between evidence about established research and evidence about Prediabetes.Life itself. For example, if CDC reports a result from the original Diabetes Prevention Program, we attribute that result to the studied intervention. We do not imply that using Prediabetes.Life produces the same outcome unless Prediabetes.Life itself has been appropriately studied.

We avoid cure guarantees, fear-based language, and false precision. Where evidence describes a population-level association or intervention result, we do not turn it into a promise about an individual reader.

Content is not presented as clinician-reviewed unless a qualified reviewer actually reviewed that specific content and is identified transparently. We do not add physician, dietitian, diabetes-educator, or other clinical credentials for appearance or search optimization.

If qualified clinical review is added later, the article will identify the reviewer and the review or update date.

AI tools may be used to assist with research organization, outlining, drafting, rewriting, consistency checks, or copyediting. AI-generated text is not treated as a medical source. Health claims intended for publication are checked against the cited external sources, and the published page identifies those sources so readers can inspect them directly.

AI assistance does not change the service boundary: public content remains general education and is not a substitute for diagnosis, treatment, medication decisions, or individualized clinical care.

Learn articles display a publication date and an updated date. We update an article when a material source changes, a factual correction is needed, the topic requires clarification, or the page is substantially improved. Cosmetic wording changes do not automatically imply that the underlying evidence changed.

If we identify a material factual error, we correct the article rather than leaving known inaccurate health information online. For a substantial correction, we update the article’s modified date. Readers can report a suspected error at support@prediabetes.life.

Prediabetes.Life is not a CDC-recognized National Diabetes Prevention Program. When our content discusses the Diabetes Prevention Program or National DPP, we identify those programs and sources directly rather than presenting Prediabetes.Life as equivalent to them.
