About

Prediabetes is a pathological condition where the blood glucose concentration is higher than normal concentrations but lower than those considered in type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) diagnosis. Until a few years ago, this prediabetes occurred in adults with associated risk factors such as being overweight or obese, sedentary lifestyle, poor eating habits, and cardiovascular problems, among others. Recently, it has begun to be detected in children, with family eating habits becoming more critical. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to determine the efficacy of the nutritional intervention in children with analytical data on pre-diabetes; and the secondary ones proposed were to evaluate if an individualized and directed nutritional intervention compared to the standardized one supposes an improvement in children's dietary habits and to determine if nutritional education improves anthropometric parameters and adherence to a Mediterranean diet, through the evaluation of the Mediterranean Diet Quality Index (KIDMED).
