Prediabetes - symptoms and how to test
Prediabetes is a dangerous disease in which blood sugar levels are elevated but not high enough to be classified as type 2 diabetes. Prediabetes affects almost one-third of American adults or over 96 million people. More than 80% of people with prediabetes don't realise they have the condition. Being overweight is a significant risk factor for developing prediabetes. Have reached the age of 45 or more. Carry a genetic predisposition for developing type 2 diabetes from a parent or sibling. If you are at high risk for diabetes, you must get your blood sugar levels checked.
