Method research was quantitative with quasi-experimental research design, prediabetes group research samples as many as 15 people with accidental sampling technique, data from the research was obtained by using questionnaires and blood sugar levels, data were analyzed using t-dependent test. The results obtained by the average value of blood sugar levels (kgd) before the intervention 161.40 mg / dl decreased to 116.60 mg / dl, and obtained a significant P value (0.001 <0.05), meaning that diet and physical activity are able to reduce blood sugar levels in the prediabetes group.
