Prediabetes is considered to be an at a risk state, with an annualized 5-10% conversion rate of diabetes and the similiar proportion converting back to normoglycaemia. The global incidence of prediabetes is increasing and will reach to 471 million patients in 2030. The elevation of blood sugar is a continuum and hence prediabe.. Read More»
