Overview

There are no clear symptoms of prediabetes so you may have it and not know it. But before people develop type 2 diabetes, they almost always have prediabetes—blood sugar levels that are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes.

You may have some of the symptoms of diabetes or even some of the complications.

Check with your doctor and get tested. If you discover that you do have prediabetes, remember that it doesn’t mean you’ll develop type 2 diabetes, particularly if you follow a treatment plan and a diet and an exercise routine.

Even small changes can have a huge impact on managing this disease or preventing it altogether.
