Abstract: Prediabetes is an intermediate metabolic state characterized by blood glucose levels above normal but below the diagnostic threshold for diabetes mellitus. It represents a growing public health concern world-wide, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. Early detect-ion and timely intervention at the primary health care level can significantly reduce progression to type 2 diabetes mellitus and its associated complications.
