Özet:

 


The aim of this review is
to increase awareness for prediabetes and help diagnose maximum number of
prediabetic patients with minimum number of tests for physicians and health
care workers. Prediabetes is a significant health problem because it can cause
microvascular and macrovascular complications, accompany metabolic syndrome and
predict the development of diabetes. It is common worldwide; however, most
patients cannot be diagnosed because single tests used for scanning it have low
diagnostic value alone. In addition; different definitions released by
different organizations increase the clinicians’ concept of confusion. As a
result; developing complications in initially undiagnosed patients call for
greater efforts and costs. Therefore: an early and correct diagnosis of
prediabetes is important. It is not rational to increase the number of tests
for every case considering increased costs. According to this; classification
of cases depending on risk status would be correct to assess the tests for
scanning. The risk stratification is also discussed. Primary care physicians
need to have a good understanding of screening for prediabetes as a core
competency and to serve proactively.
