Did you know one in three American adults have prediabetes? What does that really mean? Prediabetes is when your blood sugar levels are running higher than normal but they haven’t quite reached the type 2 diabetes numbers. that means that your cells are not effectively using insulin and blood sugar like they should. Insulin is a hormone produced from the pancreas. After a meal your pancreas releases insulin to get that sugar into your cells. When you have prediabetes, or insulin resistance, that insulin is unable to get into your cells to open it up to all that sugar. So, all of that extra sugar runs into your blood, leading to elevated glucose levels. You may be at risk for prediabetes if you’re over the age of 45, have a family history of type 2 diabetes, if you are a pregnant woman and had gestational diabetes, have elevated blood pressure levels, have elevated cholesterol levels, or are physically inactive. All of these things put you at a greater risk for developing prediabetes, and then, potentially, type 2 diabetes.

There are several things you can do to reduce your risk of developing prediabetes. Start eating more fruits and vegetables; they contain a lot of fiber which is very great for your heart and helps to keep you fuller for longer. Start to minimize your portions; try using measuring spoons and measuring cups when you’re eating. Another thing you can do is start to move your body more. Aim for 150 minutes a week of physical activity. That can be walking, biking, yoga, or even strength training. If you’re currently a smoker, pursue options to stop. Talk to your provider or join a group. Another thing you can do is be mindful of your beverage intake. Choose water more, and try to eliminate sugar-sweetened beverages; they have a lot of calories and have a great impact on blood sugar. If you believe you may be at risk for prediabetes or type 2 diabetes reach out to your provider today to schedule an appointment.

Prediabetes is a wake-up call that you’re at an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes and other serious conditions, such as heart disease and stroke. It is like a ‘pre-diagnosis’ or a warning sign of type 2 diabetes. Commonly, type 2 diabetes patients develop prediabetes first. The condition is characterized by high blood glucose levels which are not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. It occurs as a result of the body’s inability to produce or utilize the insulin hormone properly which leads to excessive glucose buildup in the blood. However, the good news is that people with prediabetes can prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes by switching to a healthy lifestyle. Eat healthy foods, maintain a healthy body weight and stay physically active to bring your blood glucose level back to normal.

Diagnosis for prediabetes (results indicative of prediabetes are):

A1C: 5.7%–6.4%
Fasting blood sugar: 100–125 mg/dl
OGTT 2 hour blood sugar: 140 mg/dl–199 mg/dl

Diabetes mellitus (DM), commonly referred to as diabetes, is a group of metabolic disorders in which there are high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period. Symptoms of high blood sugar include frequent urination, increased thirst, and increased hunger. If left untreated, diabetes can cause many complications. Acute complications can include diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state, or death. Serious long-term complications include cardiovascular disease, stroke, chronic kidney disease, foot ulcers, and damage to the eyes.
Diabetes is due to either the pancreas not producing enough insulin or the cells of the body not responding properly to the insulin produced. There are three main types of diabetes mellitus. Type 1 DM results from the pancreas’s failure to produce enough insulin. This form was previously referred to as “insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus” (IDDM) or “juvenile diabetes” The cause is unknown.
Type 2 DM begins with insulin resistance, a condition in which cells fail to respond to insulin properly. As the disease progresses a lack of insulin may also develop. This form was previously referred to as “non insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus” (NIDDM) or “adult-onset diabetes “The most common cause is excessive body weight and insufficient exercise.
Gestational diabetes is the third main form, and occurs when pregnant women without a previous history of diabetes develop high blood sugar levels.

Per the World Health Organization people with fasting glucose levels from 6.1 to 6.9 mmol/l (110 to 125 mg/dl) are considered to have impaired fasting glucose people with plasma glucose at or above 7.8 mmol/l (140 mg/dl), but not over 11.1 mmol/l (200 mg/dl), two hours after a 75 g oral glucose load are considered to have impaired glucose tolerance. Of these two pre-diabetic states, the latter in particular is a major risk factor for progression to full-blown diabetes mellitus, as well as cardiovascular disease. The American Diabetes Association since 2003 uses a slightly different range for impaired fasting glucose of 5.6 to 6.9 mmol/l (100 to 125 mg/dl)
