In prediabetes, blood sugar levels are not high enough to be considered type 2 diabetes. But at the same time, this is a fairly high level, which indicates the changes taking place in the body.
Normally, fasting blood sugar is considered below 100 and is between 100 and 126 in a person with prediabetes. Type 2 diabetes is diagnosed when fasting blood sugar is above 126.
If you have prediabetes, sugar will build up in your bloodstream instead of feeding your cells. In this case, insulin resistance, which is considered to be the main cause of prediabetes, develops.
The best way to bring sugar levels back to normal is regular exercise and a healthy diet.
Symptoms of prediabetes include blurred vision, fatigue, frequent urination, excessive thirst, and/or extreme hunger.
