Pre-Diabetes: Are You at Risk? Learn How to Prevent It from Progressing to Type 2 Diabetes
Summary:
Pre-diabetes indicates higher-than-normal blood sugar levels, but thankfully, they aren't high enough to be classified as diabetes. However, it does signal an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes and heart disease if left unaddressed. Discover more about pre-diabetes and proactive measures you can take.
Understanding Pre-Diabetes:
Pre-diabetes is a condition where your blood sugar levels are elevated but not yet at diabetic levels. This state puts you at a greater risk for type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
Who is at Risk?
Unfortunately, pre-diabetes often presents no obvious symptoms. Consider getting tested if you meet any of the following criteria:
- Overweight and aged 45 or older
- Normal weight but 45+ (consult your doctor during a check-up)
- Under 45 and overweight
- High blood pressure, low HDL cholesterol, or high triglycerides
- Family history of diabetes
- History of gestational diabetes
- Gave birth to a baby weighing more than 9 pounds
- Belong to a high-risk ethnic group, such as African American, American Indian, Asian American, Pacific Islander, or Hispanic/Latino
Taking Action:
If diagnosed with pre-diabetes, it's crucial to take steps to prevent it from progressing:
- Eat Smaller Portions: Reducing your portion sizes can help lower your risk.
- Choose Healthy Snacks: Opt for nutritious snacks over sugary ones.
- Drink Water Before Meals: A glass of water 10 minutes before eating can help control your appetite.
- Select Whole Grains: Choose whole-grain or sugar-free options.
- Increase Physical Activity: Incorporate activities like taking the stairs instead of the elevator.
- Avoid Shopping Hungry: Shopping on an empty stomach can lead to unhealthy food choices.
Implementing these simple lifestyle changes can significantly reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes from pre-diabetes. Taking control of your health today can lead to a healthier tomorrow.
