what is pre diabetes

Pre-diabetes means your blood sugar is higher than normal but lower than the diabetes range.

 It also means you are at risk of getting type 2 diabetes and heart disease. The good news is: You can reduce the risk of getting diabetes and even return to normal blood sugar levels with modest weight loss and moderate physical activity.

If you are told you have pre-diabetes, have your blood glucose (sugar) checked again in 1 to 2 years.
