The semi\u2010structured guide was developed on the basis of the theory of planned behaviour and validated by two content experts.

Individual's perceptions of diabetes were associated with excessive sugar, and prediabetes a warning sign of impending diabetes. Participants were knowledgeable about the risk factors of diabetes but needed more actionable information. They also perceived that more awareness of diabetes is necessary. Participants' attitudes towards diabetes were individualistic, dependent on their sense of vulnerability and individual personalities. The subjective norms that influenced their behaviours were socio\u2010cultural in nature. The main barriers impeding diabetes prevention were their commitment and responsibilities to family and work, accessibility to healthier lifestyle practices and internal struggles with the tediousness of diabetes prevention behaviours.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>To improve intentions to engage in diabetes prevention, a diabetes prevention programme needs to be hosted on a culturally appropriate mHealth platform for groups of like\u2010minded individuals at risk of diabetes and their family and friends.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Implications for Nurses<\/jats:title><jats:p>Nurses possess the necessary skills and experience to develop and deliver diabetes prevention programmes, create awareness of existing government initiatives and resources, and improve chronic disease management in the clinical setting.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Patient or Public Contribution<\/jats:title><jats:p>Members of the public assisted in recruitment.
