Key result
Community-based T2D screening with POC testing enables early detection, with ~89% linking patients to care.
Why the study?
Evidence on community-based screening interventions for the early detection of prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, along with barriers and implementation strategies in diverse populations, needed to be mapped.

Zehra et al. (2025) conducted a review in Prediabetes and type 2 diabetes (n=33). Community-based T2D screening interventions was evaluated on Characteristics, barriers, and strategies of community-based T2D screening interventions. Community-based T2D screening interventions utilizing POC glucose testing are valuable for early detection, with 89% of the 33 reviewed interventions offering referrals to primary care.
