Pre-diabetes

Pre-diabetes is a condition when sugar (glucose) levels are high but not high enough to be called diabetes [1]. Pre-diabetes has no symptoms. People who have pre-diabetes are at a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

The prevention and management of pre-diabetes involves maintaining a healthy weight, eating a healthy diet and being physically active [1]. It is also important that people with pre-diabetes control their blood pressure, blood cholesterol and triglycerides (blood fats).
