The Reset Series

Editorial standards

Prediabetes education sits inside one of the internet’s most doom-and-miracle saturated categories. That obligates us to be unusually transparent about how our content gets made, what rules it follows, and what it will never do.

The boundaries we never cross

• No diagnosis, no interpretation of your results. Diagnostic bands are national criteria; what any reader’s number means belongs to a clinician with their history. There are no scored quizzes anywhere on this site.
• No reversal promises. “Reverse” is the scam industry’s word. We report what trials showed about risk reduction and what cohorts show about reversion — attributed, with effect sizes — and promise nothing about any individual’s outcome.
• No diets prescribed, no foods banned. We explain the eating pattern the ADA endorses and route personalized plans to doctors and registered dietitians.
• No supplement recommendations, no doses, no medication advice. Supplements get the honest-evidence treatment or silence; metformin is described as the conversation guidelines say to have, never as a recommendation. We sell no supplements and never will.
• Crisis information where it belongs. Content touching mood carries the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (US). Emergencies route to 911.

Our evidence rules

We state well-established findings confidently and attribute them in plain prose — CDC prevalence figures, ADA diagnostic criteria, the DPP trial and its follow-up, USPSTF guidance, and the pooled cohort analysis on reversion. Statistics come from a small vetted set, softened (“about,” “roughly”) rather than dressed in false precision. Where evidence is modest — most of the supplement aisle, single-food claims — we say so plainly, even when hype would sell better.

How our articles are produced

The Reset Series is an independent publisher, and we use modern tools openly: articles in our Learn library are drafted with AI assistance against a fixed editorial template that encodes our voice, evidence rules, and the boundaries above. Before anything publishes, every draft must pass an automated compliance system that rejects outright any text containing reversal promises, outcome guarantees, banned-food grammar, doses, supplement recommendations, medication-change language, or statistics outside our vetted list — a failed check means the article does not publish. The library is additionally reviewed by a human editor on an ongoing basis, and our core guides are written and edited directly.

Corrections

If anything we publish is inaccurate, out of date, or crosses a line above, we want to know more than we want to be right: email hello@theresetseries.com and corrections ship quickly. This page is the standard we ask to be held to.
