Prediabetes is a high-risk metabolic state characterized by impaired fasting glucose (100–125 mg/dL), impaired glucose tolerance (140–199 mg/dL after 75g glucose), or an HbA1c between 5.7% and 6.4%. Left unaddressed, up to 70% of individuals with prediabetes progress to overt Type 2 diabetes within five to ten years, while already incurring elevated risks of coronary artery disease and microvascular nerve damage. In Kollam, proactive diabetologists and preventive cardiologists formulate evidence-based diabetes prevention programs grounded in the landmark Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) trial. Interventions center on achieving a 5% to 7% reduction in body weight, 150 minutes of weekly moderate aerobic activity, tailored medical nutrition therapy, and targeted insulin-sensitizing pharmacotherapy (such as metformin) for high-risk individuals. Diabetologist consultations in Kollam range between a few hundred rupees upward, empowering individuals to halt disease progression and restore normal glucose metabolism.
