Could you have prediabetes?
Prediabetes means your blood glucose (sugar) is higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. 9 out of 10 people with prediabetes do not know they have it. The sooner you know you have prediabetes, the sooner you can take action to reverse it and prevent type 2 diabetes. In most cases, type 2 diabetes IS preventable, even if you already have prediabetes.
