Are doctors missing the signs of prediabetes? new study investigates
NCT ID NCT07650513
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study surveys 500 doctors in Egypt to see how well they understand prediabetes—a condition where blood sugar is high but not yet diabetic. Doctors answer questions about risk factors, diagnostic tests, and lifestyle recommendations. The goal is to find gaps in knowledge that could help improve diabetes prevention.

- If successful, this could highlight areas where doctors need more training, potentially improving early detection and prevention of diabetes.
- What could go wrong
