Prediabetes means you have higher than normal blood sugar level but not high enough to be considered type 2 diabetes yet. Prediabetes affects one in three adults in the United States. And without lifestyle changes, adults and children with prediabetes are at high risk to develop type 2 diabetes, which increases the risk of heart-related complications, kidney damage and nerve problems. Early detection and regular monitoring of blood sugar, combined with lifestyle adjustments, can prevent progression and improve long-term health outcomes.
