A method of treating a pre-diabetic subject is disclosed wherein the subject is characterised by having a fasting plasma glucose level from 5.5 mmol/1 to 6.9 mmol/1. The method comprises administering to the subject a therapeutically effective amount of at least one mitogen-activated protein kinase- interacting kinase (MNK) inhibitor, wherein said MNK inhibitor reduces the biological activity of MNK1 and/or MNK2. The method may prevent and/or delay progression of pre-diabetes to type 2 diabetes. The method may also prevent progression of pre-diabetes at the impaired fasting glucose (IFG) stage to the impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) stage.
