Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the most widespread chronic diseases globally, with its prevalence expected to rise significantly in years ahead. Previous studies on risk stratification for T2DM identify certain biomarkers, including glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT), fructosamine, and albumin, as key indicators predicting onset progression T2DM. However, these traditional markers have been shown lack sensitivity specificity their results are difficult analyze due non-standardized interpretation criteria, posing significant challenges an accurate definitive diagnosis. The strict measures may not catch gradual increases blood sugar levels during early stages evolution, might still fall within acceptable glycemic parameters. Recent advancements research suggested novel micro ribonucleic acid (miRNA) circulatory molecules that can facilitate detection prediabetic conditions high-risk groups potentially enable prevention This capability makes them a very powerful tool improving population health, enhancing outcomes many patients, reducing overall burden These promising biomarkers small, noncoding RNA involved regulation cellular functions hand metabolic activities cells, making useful relevant biomarker explore diagnosis review analyzes current literature, outlining occurrence miRNAs diabetic individuals implications dysglycemic disorders.
