Are you at Risk for Pre-Diabetes?
Before being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, most people develop "pre-diabetes," a serious medical condition in which blood glucose levels are higher than normal. People with pre-diabetes often have no signs or symptoms, or don't recognize them because they develop slowly over a period of time. If you are overweight, have high blood pressure, a family history with diabetes, or you belong to an ethnic or minority group at high risk for diabetes, you should consult with your doctor about your blood glucose levels.
