An estimated 10.5% of the global adult population has been suffering from diabetes, and almost half of them are undiagnosed. The growing at-risk population further exacerbated the scarce health resources where the adults worldwide with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and impaired fasting glycaemia (IFG) were estimated at around 10.6% and 6.2%, respectively. All the current diabetes screening methods are invasive and opportunistic and must be conducted in a hospital or a laboratory by trained professionals. At-risk subjects might remain undetected for years and miss the precious time window for early intervention in preventing or delaying the onset of diabetes and its complications. This study was conducted at KK Women's and Children's Hospital of Singapore, and five hundred participants were recruited (mean age 38.73 $\pm$ 10.61 years; mean BMI 24.4 $\pm$ 5.1 kg/m\textsupersc...
