  2. Pre-Diabetes often goes undetected until any serious health issue occurs as the symptoms of Prediabetes are not evident. It is always advised to get blood sugar tested if any one of these are present: Overweight Age above 45 years Family history of type 2 diabetes Restricted physical activity Gestational diabetes Polycystic ovary syndrome Increasing thirst Blurry vision Delayed wound healing Frequent urination at night What is the range for Pre-Diabetes? A person is said to have a normal sugar level when the blood sugar level is less than 140 mg / dL (7.8 mmol/L). A person suspected to be Prediabetes has blood sugar levels ranging from 140 to 199 mg/dL (7.8 to 11.0 mmol/L) and When the blood sugar levels range 200 mg/dL (11.1mmol/L ) or higher ,it indicates type 2 diabetes in a person.

  3. What are the warning signs of Pre-Diabetes? The most possible sign a Pre-Diabetes can show is having dark skin patches on certain parts of the body such as knuckles, elbows, armpits and neck. A Prediabetes is suspected to have moved to type 2 diabetes when there is: Fatigue Blurred vision Excessive hunger Frequent urination Increased thirst How should a Pre-Diabetes change his lifestyle? If a Pre-Diabetes loses a small amount of weight or if you’re overweight and getting regular physical activity, then it can lower the risk for developing type 2 diabetes in a person. A small amount of weight loss means around 7% of your body weight. Regular physical activity of at least 150 minutes a week of brisk walk or a similar activity should be followed for half an hour and five days in a week. Other lifestyle modifications like getting enough sleep, following a strict meal schedule, intake of more fibre food, stopping smoking and alcohol prevents and arrest the progression of Prediabetes.
