- Prediabetes
Pre-diabetes is a condition where your blood sugar level is higher than normal, but not high enough to be classified as having type 2 diabetes. Without medical intervention, prediabetes can progress to type 2 diabetes in approximately 10 years or less. Prediabetes can cause the same damage to the organs, such as your heart, kidneys, nerves, and eyes, like type 2 diabetes.
It is recommended that men and women ages 35 to 70 should consider getting screened during your annual exam. Request a fasting glucose test which is a blood test that measures the amount of sugar in your blood.
We welcome new patients by referral from Great River Health providers. Once a referral is submitted, our schedulers will contact the patient directly to arrange an appointment. We also accept referrals from outside providers by phone or fax at any of our three convenient locations. Our knowledgeable, compassionate team is here to provide trusted diabetes support and flexible scheduling across all campuses. Based on individual needs, we typically recommend a series of appointments over a 2–3 month period to ensure comprehensive care and education.
