Abstract
One-third to one-half of seafarers and other transport workers have prediabetes. The initiative described herein aims to incorporate glucometer tests into the routine health examinations and offers a structured 16-week intervention plan. Gold-standard diagnostic techniques such as A1c testing are often excluded from routine health examinations, which leads to missed opportunities to prevent diabetes. Using affordable glucometer technology, by comparison, would enable early diagnosis and the initiation of prediabetes remission coaching programmes. Regularly monitoring fitness and dietary health plans, along with the self-monitoring of blood glucose, is both feasible and beneficial for long-term health management.
