Prediabetes 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, as type 2 diabetes.
Schedule a pre-diabetes screening by contacting your primary care physician.
Who should consider this screening
- Anyone 35 to 70
About this screening
- During your annual exam, be sure to request a fasting glucose test - a blood test that measures the amount of sugar in your blood.
- Prediabetes means you have higher-than-normal blood glucose levels, but not high enough for a type-2 diabetes diagnosis
