Prediabetes Awareness Barriers and Enablers: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011–2020
Most participants were unaware of their prediabetes condition, regardless of social determinants of health and demographic factors. This suggests the need to promote prediabetes awareness across populations. Proactively evaluating and discussing results may help narrow the unawareness chasm. Lifestyle choices not being associated with prediabetes awareness suggests that mere awareness and medical advice are not enough for patients to embrace healthy behaviors.
