Prediabetes is a serious health condition affecting 88 million Americans—more than 1 in 3 people—and most are unaware they have it. People with prediabetes have higher-than-normal blood sugar levels that aren’t yet high enough to be considered diabetes, and data shows that people with prediabetes have a 50% chance of developing type 2 diabetes within 5 to 10 years.
If you have prediabetes, the good news is that by working with your doctor or health care provider, you can make healthy changes to manage and even reverse this condition. So, take charge of your health: even small adjustments can help manage prediabetes and improve your general well-being.
