CGM measures glucose levels without the participants having to prick fingers and involves wearing a small sensor on the back of the arm day and night which allows viewing of glucose levels on the mobile phone with a painless 1 second scan. This is the first time the investigators are trying to do research using CGM for adults with prediabetes. the study team want to learn how practical it is to do such a study. The study will explore if wearing of a CGM sensor makes a difference in terms of health outcomes compared to regular health coaching. It also aims to understand the users' experience with the CGM system. This study targets to recruit 76 participants from Pasir Ris Polyclinic. Part 1 of the study uses a research method called a randomized controlled trial. Participants who consent to join will be allocated to one of two groups based on chance.
