Prediabetes is a condition where blood sugar levels are elevated, but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. In other words, it is a stage when the body is asking for help. It is diagnosed when fasting glucose is between 100 and 125 mg/dL. Over time, this resistance can progress to diabetes and raise the risk of heart diseases, stroke, kidney problems, and nerve damage.
Studies suggest prediabetes can be reversed with a structured diet and exercise programs. But how exactly can one identify that they’re progressing towards or already suffering from this condition? Prediabetes can progress without noticeable symptoms, making early detection challenging. However, certain physical signs can serve as early indicators, and recognizing them can help with timely intervention.
