Addressing gaps in pre-diabetes care: health professionals’ knowledge, attitudes, and counseling practices

This study identified significant gaps of knowledge among general practitioners. While general practitioners demonstrated poor attitudes, they exhibited commendable counseling practices toward patients with prediabetes and their families. The identified gaps and challenges stress the need for tailored educational initiatives and intervention but also targeted efforts to address attitudes alongside enhancing clinical skills. Limitations of the study, including the potential sampling biases and development of a new, non-validated questionnaire, should be considered when interpreting the results.
