Abstract
Diabetes type 2 represents a global health problem, and it is expected to influence approximately 530 million people by 2030.
Usually, diabetes type 2 is developed through more than one stage. Prediabetes is a preliminary stage of diabetes before developing
full episodes of diabetes.Diabetes type 2 can be preventable following appropriate lifestyles. The main objective of this study is to
describe a case with liver cirrhosis and the patient was recommended for liver transplantation. Following reviewing of his profile,
it was apparent that the patient had prediabetes (glucose level was 126mg/dl). The patient was recommended to use tadalafil 5 mg
daily to offer improvement of liver function based on previous experience. Glucose level was daily measured. It was interestingly
found that glucose levels were restored to normal levels between 85-100 mg/dl. Taken together, prediabetes can be treated using
non-classical therapeutic approaches and full events can be prevented accordingly.
