Pre-diabetes

Pre-diabetes is a health condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not yet high enough to be classified as type 2 diabetes. It indicates that the body is having difficulty using insulin effectively. Generally, pre-diabetes can lead to type 2 diabetes if no lifestyle changes are made. Risk factors include being overweight, having a sedentary lifestyle, and family history of diabetes. Early detection through blood tests and changes in diet, exercise, and weight management can help prevent progression to diabetes and reduce the risk of related health complications.
