The purpose of the present study was to assess knowledge of prediabetes and its risk factors for the community in the Al-Ahsa region.<br \/>\n<em>Design and method<\/em>: A cross-sectional community-based study was conducted in the Al-Ahsa region from mid-to-late December 2018. A sample size of 812 was determined using a single-proportion formula.<br \/>\n<em>Results<\/em>: Of the 812 respondents who gave consent to participate in the interview; the male to female ratio was 1.1:1. 13.2% of the respondents reported that they had diabetes. Among the respondents, 87.1% had a high level of knowledge of prediabetes, while 12.9% had low-to-moderate knowledge. 84% of males 40 years of age or older, 88.7% (384) of people with university or higher education, and 95.1% (78) of people who worked as health practitioners had high knowledge of prediabetes.Overall, there was a statistically significant association between age and prediabetes knowledge (????<sup>2<\/sup>\u00a0=5.006, p=0.025). Occupation also showed a significant statistical association with prediabetes knowledge (????<sup>2<\/sup>\u00a0=9.85, p=0.02).<br \/>\n<em>Conclusion<\/em>: Knowledge is considered an important factor in the prevention of prediabetes and diabetes. People in Al-Ahsa demonstrated a high level of knowledge regarding some risk factors for prediabetes. However, there were a number of deficiencies in the knowledge of prediabetes risk factors and preventive measures as well as in general knowledge of prediabetes, which may lead to a high prevalence of prediabetes and diabetes.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"label\">REFERENCES<\/h3>\n<div class=\"value\">\n<p>Al-Mutairi GF, Abdul-Halim IM, Albawi AA, El-Shazly MK.
