Definitions for "Pre-diabetes"
an increasingly common condition in which blood glucose levels are higher than normal, but not yet diabetic. Most people with pre-diabetes develop type 2 diabetes within 10 years unless changes are made to diet and level of physical activity.
A condition characterized by blood glucose (sugar) levels that are higher than normal, but not high enough for a diagnosis of Diabetes.
blood glucose levels that are higher than normal but not yet high enough to be considered diabetic. Diag­ nosed through either a fasting plasma glu­ cose test or an oral glucose tolerance test, people with pre-diabetes are at a height­ ened risk for type 2 diabetes. Even at this stage, however, a healthy diet, weight loss, and exercise can delay or prevent type 2 diabetes from developing.
