In 2007, this number rose to 22.10 million( 8.9 million DM patients and 13.20 million suspected cases, called 'Prediabetes'). The goal of this study is to develop a program which provides primary prevention and intervention to patients at high risk for developing DM or who are in the early stages of the disease. To this end, we conducted an epidemiological study of potential DM patients who visited non-diabetes specialists at an University Hospital in Japan between April in 2007 to March in 2008. 2,638 potential DM patients were extracted from data as their HbA1C, level was above 5.2% and below 6.1%, or their blood glucose level was between 140mg/dl and 200mg/dl. Our results showed that the percentage of Prediabetes in our study is higher at 20.5% than its statistic data of 16.9% estimated in 2007 by the Japanese Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, in which patients were over 40 years old and their HbA1C level above 5.6% and below 6.1%). The study also found that patients who are taking steroids are at particularly high risk for developing DM. Early detection of potential DM patients and timely intervention is crucial in preventing the development of DM and protecting the QOL of these patients., 保健学研究, vol.22(1), pp.25-32; 2009}, pages = {25--32}, title = {A大学病院の糖尿病非専門診療科に潜在する糖尿病予備群像}, volume = {22}, year = {2009} }
