In today's fast-paced world, many of us ignore the tiny signals our bodies offer us, dismissing them as inconveniences or results of stress. However, what if those symptoms were your body's way of alerting you to a serious health concern lurking beneath the surface? Prediabetes is one such condition-a stealthy precursor to type 2 diabetes that affects millions but is frequently overlooked until it is too late. Definition & Statistics So, what precisely constitutes prediabetes? Simply put, prediabetes is when your blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. It is a key stage in which insulin resistance develops, resulting in high blood glucose levels. While this illness may not cause obvious symptoms, it does indicate an urgent need for care. The figures are worrisome. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 88 million American adults-roughly one in every three-have prediabetes. However, more than 80% of these people are ignorant of their condition. This lack of understanding emphasizes the value of early intervention. When detected early, prediabetes can be treated, dramatically lowering the chance of developing type 2 diabetes and other serious health problems such as heart disease and stroke.
