  Thank you Omatra. I am glad you found the post informative. If you receive a prediabetes diagnosis, it means you have a higher-than-normal blood sugar level. But, it’s not high enough to be diagnostic for diabetes. If you have prediabetes and don’t make lifestyle changes, you could develop type 2 diabetes within 10 years, according to the Mayo Clinic.

  Don’t let the “pre” fool you—prediabetes is a serious health condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal, but not high enough yet to be diagnosed as diabetes. Prediabetes puts you at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and stroke.
