Core Tip	Prediabetes is an early warning sign of an underlying pathophysiological change in glucose metabolism which in the due course of time might advance to type II diabetes mellitus. There has been a recent global upsurge in prediabetes in children and adolescents. Notwithstanding, there is still a dearth of sufficient literature regarding this very pertinent issue. Prediabetes status must be identified at the earliest to prevent further medical complications. American Diabetes Association and the International Society for Paediatric and Adolescent Diabetes recommend the screening of high-risk children for developing prediabetes. At present, the possible ways of managing this crisis are the prevention of childhood obesity, early identification and screening of high-risk patients, and active intervention.
