Prediabetes means your blood sugar level is higher than normal but hasn’t become type 2 diabetes. Diabetes can lead to life-changing complications. While diabetes has no cure, prediabetes may be reversed.

Diabetes Prevention Program
What is Prediabetes?
Are You at Risk?
If you think you’re at risk, you should ask your primary care physician for a blood test. However, your risk level may be determined by a combination of factors. Answering a few simple questions can help.
Some of the risk factors include:
- A family history of diabetes
- Being overweight
- Over the age of 45
- Little to no exercise in a typical day
- A history of gestational diabetes
If you’re at risk and you have not been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, then you may qualify for our Diabetes Prevention Program.
