Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is one of the main threats to human health in the 21st century. Prediabetes can go years without being detected until it reaches serious consequences. Increasing prevalence of type 2diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in children in developing countries should not be neglected at all. This future adult population, if they are given awareness to change in lifestyle and diet pattern at their adolescent age, definitely could help to control the disease group to a certain extent. Traditional diabetes education might not be sufficient to control diabetes. Early awareness on prediabetes and how much is the risk of prediabetes to diabetes and its consequences are important. The impact of family health history on the individual perception of the disease may vary between individuals and between diseases. These perceptions could be used to motivate preventive health behaviour such as promotion of screening or behaviour change (alcoholism or smoking), diet pattern and exercise modifications. Changes in life style like reduced physical activity and sedentary behaviour in relation to COVID-19 may also become increased risk to life style diseases. Training and empowering of health care providers for delivering adequate health message is important. Keywords: Prediabetes, Genetic factor, life style, Health care.
