Abstract
OBJECTIVE
As a worldwide epidemic, the frequency of prediabetes is rapidly increasing. As a result, the present study investigated pre-diabetes synergistic factors in the Saudi population.
PATIENTS AND METHODS
This descriptive study used samples from 31 Hail-area primary health clinics (PHCs). Participants were chosen at random from December 2021 to June 2022.
RESULTS
There were 164 participants in this study, of which 86 males (52.4%) and 78 females (47.6%). The GTT revealed that none of the study participants had diabetes, but an A1C test revealed that all of them had A1C levels above 6.5%. Approximately 16/86 (18.6%) of the 86 men were overweight, whereas 53/86 (61.6%) were obese.
CONCLUSIONS
Saudi Arabia's prediabetes rate has increased due to obesity/overweight, family history of diabetes, heart rate variability, and poor sleep quality. HbA1c screening should replace GTT to prevent progression to T2DM.
