Prediabetes is a condition in which blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough for a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. Progression from prediabetes to diabetes can take as little as five years. Approximately 90% of those with prediabetes remain unscreened or undiagnosed. Several risk factors increase a person’s risk of prediabetes, including:
Being overweight
Being physically active less than three times per week
Having a parent or sibling with type 2 diabetes
Being over the age of 40
Being a male
Having a history of gestational diabetes
