Prediabetes is a state in which your blood sugar is higher than usual but not high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes (T2D). It is like a warning before diabetes. People with prediabetes might not notice any obvious symptoms or signs, however, immediate action should be taken to avoid diabetes.1<\/sup><\/a><\/p>

In 2017, around 430,000 Singaporeans, which is about 14% of people aged 18\u201369 years, had prediabetes. Without further help, 1 in 3 of them could get T2D within 8 years.2 Additionally, studies have also predicted that by 2035, almost twice as many people will have prediabetes compared to 2010, with the number rising steadily from 15.5% to 29.4%.3<\/sup><\/a><\/p>

In 2022, the National Population Health Survey reported that from 2010 to 2022, the overall diabetes rate stayed around 8.5%. More men (9.7%) than women (7.3%) had diabetes in 2022. Diabetes rates increased with age, reaching 21.8% for ages 60\u201369 years and 24.2% for ages 70\u201374 years. Nearly 19% of people with diabetes did not know they had it.4<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Preventing prediabetes from progressing to T2D is achievable through early detection, proper management, and follow-up care. Recognising prediabetes early and taking action is crucial in the fight against diabetes. With increased support, individuals with prediabetes can take proactive steps to manage their condition and improve long-term health outcomes. 2<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
