What is it?

Prediabetes is a serious health condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes. If left untreated, it can progress to diabetes, a chronic disease characterized by high levels of blood sugar (blood glucose).


Diabetes occurs when the body either does not produce enough insulin or cannot use insulin effectively. Insulin is a hormone that helps cells absorb glucose from the blood for energy. When this process fails, glucose builds up in the bloodstream, leading to a condition called hyperglycemia.

Why it's harmful...

Diabetes and prediabetes are harmful because they disrupt the body’s ability to regulate blood sugar levels, leading to a variety of short- and long-term health problems:


1. Damage to Blood Vessels and Organs

• High blood sugar levels over time can damage blood vessels, nerves, and organs, including the heart, kidneys, eyes, and brain.


2. Increased Risk of Cardiovascular Disease

• Diabetes significantly raises the risk of heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure due to damaged arteries and increased cholesterol levels.


3. Kidney Damage (Diabetic Nephropathy)

• High blood sugar can strain the kidneys, leading to kidney disease or failure over time.


4. Nerve Damage (Neuropathy)

• Prolonged high glucose levels damage the nerves, causing pain, tingling, or loss of sensation, especially in the extremities.



5. Eye Problems (Diabetic Retinopathy)

• Excess blood sugar damages the blood vessels in the retina, leading to vision loss or blindness.


6. Increased Risk of Infections

• Elevated sugar levels can impair the immune system, making the body more prone to infections and slower to heal wounds.


7. Progression to Type 2 Diabetes (for Prediabetes)

• Without lifestyle changes, prediabetes often progresses to full-blown diabetes, worsening the risks and complications.


HOW TO FIX THIS!

How is Diabetes diagnosed? Diabetes is diagnosed through a series of blood tests designed to measure blood sugar (glucose) levels.



Reversing diabetes or prediabetes starts with taking the first step—seeking guidance.
