pre-diabetes


Pre-diabetes is when your blood glucose (or sugar) levels are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. Blood testing may reveal impaired fasting glucose or impaired glucose tolerance. People with pre-diabetes are at increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease and stroke.
