An estimated 86 million American adults have prediabetes, which means they have blood glucose (sugar) that’s higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. There are no clear symptoms of prediabetes. You can have it and not know it. Prediabetes puts you at a higher risk of getting type 2 diabetes soon, or down the road. It also means that you are more likely to get heart disease or even have a stroke. The good news: prediabetes is reversible. Knowing your risk is the first step to reversing it.
The American Diabetes Association (ADA) encourages all adults take the Type 2 Diabetes Risk Test. This free, anonymous test can help you find out in 60 seconds if you’re at risk for type 2 diabetes. Take the test at: http://diabetes.org/RiskTest
