The World Prediabetes Day will be annually observed across the globe on 14th August starting from 2021.
The day aims to create awareness about Prediabetes and to reduce the increasing rate of diabetes.
14th August 2021 marks the first World Prediabetes Day.
World Prediabetes Day has been strategically chosen 90 days before World Diabetes day (14 November).
This is because it scientifically takes 90 days to change the lifestyle to reverse Prediabetes and prevent progression to diabetes.
Prediabetes is a health condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 (lifestyle induced) diabetes.
