Abstract Prediabetes is a condition where the blood glucose levels are high, but not enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. The HbA1C test can identify the prediabetes conditions as the blood glucose levels are between 5.7% to 6.4%. The fasting glucose level are said to be around 125 mg/dL and IGT levels are seen around 199 mg/dL. Prediabetes have a high burden of Cardiovascular Risk. Prediabetes is a multifactorial condition, the environmental risk factors include diet, lack of physical activity, increase age, obesity or overweight and the biological risk factors include insulin resistance, genetic disposition and beta cell dysfunction. According to research carried out in 2021, the global prevalence is said to be around 14%, combining the prevalence of IGT and IFG. Awareness of Prediabetes is very much needed because an affected individual, if not aware, may end up in a severe disease such as CVD.
