Abstract

Modern medicine has recognized prediabetes as a well-characterized syndrome only in the last two decades. However,
Ayurveda has clearly described distinct stages of diabetes thousands of years ago. The Ayurvedic classification represents
the entire clinical spectrum of diabetes that we encounter today. In this article, we present the Ayurvedic perspective on
prediabetes with regard to etiology, clinical features and management, which emphasizes lifestyle modification as the key
approach to manage the dysglycemia.
