Type 2 Diabetes doesn’t develop in a day. It starts much early as Pre Diabetes, where ,Fasting blood glucose is between 100-125 mg/dl called as Impaired Fasting Glucose(IFG) and/or 2 hours post prandial blood glucose 140-199 mg/dl called as Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT). Both IGT & IFG are being classified as Pre Diabetes. So, T2DM develops after a period of 3-7 years of pre diabetes in India. This is a golden opportunity in the life of a person with T2DM, that if they follow consistent structured Life Style Modification (LSM), at least 50% of these people with pre diabetes can become normal, remaining 50% either will remain Pre Diabetes or will become T2DM in next 5-10 yrs. Thus, screening and early detection of Pre Diabetes can play a vital role in prevention of T2DM.
