Prediabetes is part of the natural history of type 2 diabetes mellitus, which is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in Mexico. It is known that overweight and obesity are the main risk factors for producing insulin resistance and this in turn leads to prediabetes-diabetes mellitus 2, acting alone or together, excess adipose tissue, mainly visceral, and Prediabetes increase cardiovascular risk before hyperglycemia occurs in the diagnostic criteria for diabetes. Effective strategies have been developed focused on changing lifestyle habits (changes in dietary patterns and increased physical activity) to promote weight loss in populations with and without glucose alterations present, but with limitations in the scope for the size of the affected population. There is a small number of studies developed for this purpose, focused on a multidisciplinary intervention in low- and middle-income countries. The prediabetes care program (PreCPro) is a care initiative developed by the primary care public health services of the Government of Mexico City (CDMX) to promote weight reduction and reduction of hyperglycemia through a intervention composed of an interdisciplinary care team, centered on the patient with a focus on promoting change in people's behavior to adopt healthy eating and physical activity habits. The target population of the prediabetes care program (PreCPro) is made up of patients with prediabetes, without advanced diseases, who receive regular care in public primary care services in Mexico City.
