Abstract

The effectiveness of routine preventive health screenings in identifying undiagnosed type 2 diabetes among 135 adults over 24 months is reported. Participants underwent annual fasting glucose, HbA1c, and BMI assessments. Early-stage type 2 diabetes was detected in 23.7% of cases through screening alone. Significant correlations were found between undiagnosed diabetes and elevated BMI and family history. Thus, we show the value of preventive screening in early intervention and diabetes control.
