Prediabetes or latent phase of Type 2 Diabetes mellitus (ICD 10- R73.03) is associated with increased risk of progressing tomanifestation of diabetes. Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) has a long history of use in certain parts of the world andhas gained increasing interest over the last decades globally. CAM includes both Pharmacological and Non-pharmacological treatmentmodalities and these are sought for management of most of the diseases including metabolic disorders, especially for long term care.Multiple studies have shown the effectiveness of CAM interventions in management of Prediabetes. This review collates and summarises current (as on May 2020) published literature on CAM as a management strategy for Prediabetes. We included articles in English language from PubMed and Scopus databases using appropriate free keywords and MeSH terms related to the topic. Search strategy yielded articles of which few were unrelated to the topic and few were on Diabetes mellitus of both types. In the process of review, we tried to categorise each of the available mode of treatment as pharmacological and non-pharmacological management and collated the available evidence on the same.
