Prediabetes is often confused with diabetes. Generally people think prediabetes is often followed by onset of diabetes. Well this is not true, prediabetes can lead to type 2 diabetes. However, people with prediabetes can reduce their chances of developing diabetes by following a healthy lifestyle<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Through this article, we will help you understand the difference between prediabetes and diabetes. But before understanding pre-diabetes vs diabetes let us understand what prediabetes and diabetes is.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is prediabetes?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Prediabetes is often described as a condition in which a person’s blood sugar levels are higher than normal i.e. above 100 mg\/dl but not high enough to be classified as type 2 diabetes i.e. not above 125 mg\/dl . Generally prediabetes is considered as a warning sign that a person may be at risk of developing type 2 diabetes in the future.<\/span><\/p>\n

Typically when a person has prediabetes, their body either fails to produce enough insulin or their cells do not respond to insulin in a way that they should.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The inability of the body to produce or utilize insulin affects its ability to regulate blood sugar levels of the body. Without enough insulin<\/a> or the body’s inability to use it effectively, the amount of sugar in the blood can become too high.<\/span><\/p>\n

People with prediabetes who continue to follow an unhealthy lifestyle are at an increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes<\/a>, heart disease, and stroke. However, with healthy lifestyle changes such as losing weight, eating a healthy diet, and increasing physical activity, it is possible to reverse prediabetes.<\/span><\/p>\n
