Prediabetes is a health condition characterized by higher than normal blood sugar levels, but not high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. It is a serious condition that puts individuals at an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Prediabetes typically has no clear symptoms, so it often goes undetected until serious health problems arise. Risk factors for prediabetes include being overweight, having a family history of diabetes, having had diabetes during pregnancy, or belonging to certain ethnic groups. Lifestyle changes, such as modest weight loss and regular physical activity, can help prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes and other serious health problems associated with prediabetes.
In summary, prediabetes is a critical health condition that requires attention and lifestyle modifications to prevent the development of type 2 diabetes and other associated health issues.
