What is prediabetes?
Prediabetes means blood glucose is higher than usual but below the diagnostic range for diabetes.
Symptoms, causes and assessment
It usually causes no symptoms and is found with blood tests. The type of test, need for confirmation and other risks matter. It does not mean everyone will inevitably develop diabetes.
Care and when to seek help
Nutrition, activity and weight management when appropriate may lower risk; set individual goals with a clinician. Do not diagnose from a single home reading; consider other risks and follow-up.
