Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Characterise the healthy vs prediabetic profile for type 2 diabetes based on blood biomarkers (including established biomarkers i.e., fasting plasma glucose, insulin, HbA1c, full lipid profile, liver function tests and novel metabolomic biomarkers) and body composition (using DeXA and MRI/S)[Baseline];Identify novel metabolomic markers, that are predictive of pancreas and liver fat deposition and risk of developing type 2 diabetes using untargeted LC-MS methodology[baseline]

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Determine the impact of MRI determined pancreas and liver fat on pancreatic beta-cell function and insulin secretion using an intravenous glucose tolerance test[-10, 0, 2, 4, 6, 10,25, 30, 32, 34, 36, 40, 55 and 60 minutes ];Determine cardiorespiratory fitness as assessed by the YMCA cycle ergometer submaximal test[Steady state heart rate (SSHR) will be calculated as an average HR recorded during the 2nd and 3rd minute of each stage of the YMCA Cycle Ergometer Submaximal Exercise Test.]
