Abstract:
Background: Prediabetes is a reversible condition before the onset of Type 2 Diabetes
Mellitus. Untreated condition of prediabetes will develop into diabetes and its complications.
The prevalence of prediabetes has been emerging worldwide and has a considerable socioeconomic
impact. The current study reviews the roles of early detection, educational models, life
modification, and prophylaxis of individuals with prediabetes in preventing the progression of
prediabetes into Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus and complications in the future.
Methods: This study included published articles from several electronic databases. The obtained
articles were limited to March 2023. Articles that were not open access and not in Indonesian or
English were excluded. The protocol for this study used the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting
Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) 2020.
Results: Of 39627 articles, 39601 were excluded due to duplication and did not meet the eligibility
criteria. At the final, there were 26 articles that were eligible for systematic review.
Conclusion: Prevention of the development of prediabetes into diabetes is essential. A comprehensive
understanding and training on intensive lifestyle modification protocols from local and
national experts in diabetes prevention through digital-based education models and linguistically
and culturally approach can be considered. Intensive lifestyle modification and pharmacological
approaches may improve the outcome. Regular monitoring of glycemic control is also important
for early diagnosis of diabetes, especially in patients with special conditions.
