Dr. Ijaz Ahmad, Dr. Zahoor ur Rehman, Dr. Tariq Hassan

An intermediate condition of hyperglycemia refers to prediabetes which reflects the level of glucose more than normal range; whereas, these levels are under the maximum limit of diabetes. It is a well-known metabolic state as the prediabetes individuals are more prone to the development of overtly formed diabetes state along with related complications and disorders. Awareness about prediabetes may help to identify early diagnosis, timely medical intervention and reducing the total increase in the patients of diabetes. Different organizations present different screening guidelines for diabetes which result in the different estimation of diabetes prevalence. In the presence of such variations, different estimates present an increase in the diabetes cases who were classified as prediabetes all over the world. The objective of this research is to analyze the prediabetes diagnostic/ screening criteria, the relation between prevalence and glycemic measures and discuss present practice and futuristic perspective on the global burden of prediabetes. Keywords: Diabetes, Prediabetes, Prevalence, Global Burden and Screening Tools.
