New to Type 2?
Enroll in the Living With Type 2 Diabetes program and let us guide you through your first year with type 2 diabetes.
Prediabetes
Before people develop type 2 diabetes, they almost always have "prediabetes" — blood glucose levels that are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. Recent research has shown that some long-term damage to the body, especially the heart and circulatory system, may already be occurring during prediabetes. The good news is there are things you can do to prevent or delay the development of type 2 diabetes. You may also be interested in our book, Diabetes Problem Solver.
How to Tell if You Have Diabetes or Prediabetes
A doctor can determine if you have prediabetes with the the fasting plasma glucose (FPG) test or the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).
What to Do If You Have Prediabetes
People with prediabetes can prevent type 2 diabetes by eating healthy, being physically active, and managing their weight.
