Prediabetes

Having prediabetes means that your blood glucose level is higher than normal, but not quite as high as someone who has diabetes.

Before people develop type 2 diabetes, they almost always have prediabetes, often referred to as impaired glucose tolerance (IGT)
or impaired fasting glucose (IFG), depending on the test that was used to detect it.

Progression from prediabetes to type 2 diabetes isn’t inevitable.
By eating healthy foods, incorporating physical activity into your daily routine, and maintaining a healthy weight,
you can bring your blood sugar level back to normal.

The American Diabetes Association recommends that blood glucose screening for adults begin at age 45, or sooner if you are overweight and have additional risk factors for prediabetes or type 2 diabetes.
