Individuals with prediabetes have a high risk of developing type 2 diabetes. The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of combination of ketogenic diet and aerobic exercise interventions versus ketogenic diet alone on the glucose level in prediabetes female with normal weight.
Pre-diabetes is the preceding condition of diabetes, where the blood sugar level is higher than normal but lower than the diagnostic criteria of type II diabetes and in most of the cases, this ultimately leads to the development type II diabetes. It has been estimated that the number of pre-diabetic cases will increase to more than 470 million people worldwide, and this is understandably a worrying trend . Many studies have been done on diabetes patients. However, little is known about the pre-diabetic conditions. Diagnosed Prediabetes was stated as any participants who did not have diabetes but who had fasting plasma glucose level of 100 - 125 mg/dL, an HbA1c level of 5.7% - 6.4%, or 2-hour plasma glucose level of 140 - 199 mg/dL. Treatment of pre-diabetes and prevention of the development of pre-diabetes to T2DM,through lifestyle intervention mainly includes nutritious dietary and exercises. Combining a ketogenic diet with exercise is a powerful way to reducing insulin resistance, control blood glucose levels and achieve weight loss. As ketogenic diets are nowadays predictable as being useful, there is presently a shortage of research studies examining just how useful the combination of exercise and a ketogenic diet

continuous moderate intensity aerobic exercises with ketogenic diet group underwent supervised moderate-intensity exercised on a treadmill at 50%-70% of heart rate reserve for three month
Ketogenic diet: a low carbohydrate high-fat diet consisted of the following nutrient conformation: 80% fat, 15% protein and 5% carbohydrates, entire daily intake was estimated to be 20-30 g of carbohydrates for three month.

RECRUITINGchange in fasting plasma glucose
Fasting blood specimen was obtained and measured participants' fasting plasma glucose. Diagnosed Prediabetes was stated as any participants who did not have diabetes but who had fasting plasma glucose level of 5.6 - 7.0 mmol/L
Time frame: three month
change in glycated hemoglobin
Fasting blood specimen was obtained and measured participants' glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) Diagnosed Prediabetes was stated as any participants who did not have diabetes but who had HbA1c level of 5.7% - 6.4%
Time frame: three month
change in Body composition
Body Weight was measured in kilograms and Height was measured in meters then body mass index (BMI) was calculated by dividing weight in kilograms on height in meters square BMI = kg/m2 . Waist circumference measurements have been made to the nearest 0.1 centimeter using a tape measure at the uppermost lateral border of the hip crest (ilium)
Time frame: three month
