For Health Care Providers
Control diabetes before it controls you.
Learn more about Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes below.
Prediabetes means your blood glucose (sugar) level is higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed a diabetes. Prediabetes raises your risk of developing type 2 diabetes and heart disease. Without weight loss and/or physical activity, many people with the condition will go on to develop type 2 diabetes within 3 years. Type 2 diabetes is a serious condition that can lead to:
- Heart Attack
- Stroke
- Blindness
- Kidney Failure
- Loss of Toes, Feet, or Legs
- The lifestyle changes made through the Diabetes Prevention Program will help you prevent or delay onset of type 2 diabetes.
Factors that may put you at higher risk for developing prediabetes or type 2 diabetes include:
- 45 years of age or older
- Overweight (Not sure if you’re overweight? Calculate your BMI here. A score over 25 indicates that you are overweight.)
- Have a family history of type 2 diabetes
- Are physically active fewer than 3 times per week
- Ever had diabetes while pregnant (gestational diabetes) or gave birth to a baby the weighed more than 9 pounds.
- Take the “Could You Have Prediabetes?” quiz.
