Prediabetes means your blood glucose (sugar) level is higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed a diabetes. Prediabetes raises your risk of developing type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

  • Heart Attack
  • Stroke
  • Blindness
  • Kidney Failure
  • Loss of Toes, Feet, or Legs

The lifestyle changes made through the Diabetes Prevention Program will help you prevent or delay onset of type 2 diabetes.
