I interpreted that to mean that she is pre-diabetic and will soon develop diabetes without the assistance of the drug to alter her eating habits.

  Surely that would have been true three months ago as well? $25/month is absurdly affordable for preventing that and that'd have been a truly awesome option... but unless it has increased her diabetes symptoms, she has likely been close to but resisting that diagnosis for years. Or is it more that they're worried about developing "full" type-2 in a few years if nothing else changes? But if that's the case, trying to get diagnosed with it ASAP seems like a reasonable route, not dreading it. --- Edit: correction, ignore the below. Rogers here is a diagnosed diabetic who had to stop using it due to shortages. --- >Due to shortages, Rogers had to stop taking Mounjaro for three weeks. “I was a wreck over it and full of despair,” said the 58-year-old. “I gained several pounds back, but I was surprised at how badly I felt when my [blood glucose] numbers got out of control again. It was a wakeup call to me to realize how sick diabetes makes you.” Tbh that sounds like resisting diagnosis, not worrying about a future health decline.
