This review examines strategies for early detection and management of T2DM in adults, highlighting advancements in diagnostic methods such as Glycated Albumin (GA) and Glycated Serum Protein (GSP), which offer improved sensitivity and specificity over traditional HbA1c tests. Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM) provides real-time glucose data, enhancing management but facing challenges such as excessive costs and insurance limitations. Effective early detection of prediabetes, combined with lifestyle interventions and pharmacological treatments, plays a crucial role in managing T2DM. Emerging therapies, including advanced medications and bariatric surgery, show promise for improving glycemic control and reducing complications. A multidisciplinary approach, integrating patient education, behavioural changes and innovative technologies, is essential for optimizing management strategies. Addressing these aspects will help mitigate the impact of T2DM and improve patient outcomes globally. </p> </abstract> <kwd-group> <kwd>Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM)</kwd> <kwd> Early Detection</kwd> <kwd> Continuous Glucose Monitoring</kwd> <kwd> Prediabetes</kwd> </kwd-group> </article-meta> </front> </article>
