Prediabetes
Are You Feeling Frustrated, Confused and Scared?

Prediabetes is a “pre-diagnosis” of diabetes—you might see it as a warning sign. It’s when your blood glucose level (blood sugar level) is higher than normal, but it’s not high enough to be considered diabetes.

In addition, Prediabetes is an indication that you could develop type 2 diabetes if you don’t make some lifestyle changes.

One in three American adults has Prediabetes, and most do not even know they have it. If you have Prediabetes and do not lose weight or do not do moderate physical activity, you could develop type 2 diabetes within 5 years. ​

Type 2 Diabetes is the most common form of diabetes, yet over 86 million people have Prediabetes and 90% don't even know it.

Most of the food we eat is turned into glucose, or sugar, for our bodies to use for energy. The pancreas, an organ that lies near the stomach, makes a hormone called insulin to help glucose get into the cells of our bodies. When you have type 2 diabetes, your body can’t use its own insulin as well as it should. This causes sugar to build up in your blood.

Type 2 diabetes is a serious condition. It can lead to serious health issues such as heart attack, stroke, blindness, kidney failure, or loss of toes, feet, or legs.

As an extra benefit, when you make these lifestyle changes you'll get other health benefits as well. You may lower your risk of other diseases and you will probably feel better and have more energy. Some of the changes include:

Losing some weight and keeping it off. Weight control is a vital part of diabetes prevention. Losing as little as 5 to 10 percent of your body weight will greatly improve your chances of preventing diabetes.

Following a healthy eating plan. This requires that you step away from the Standard American Diet (or 'S.A.D' diet) and start making healthy choices in the foods you eat and the way you eat them. This includes eating smaller portions with less fat and sugar.

Getting and staying active. Exercise has many health benefits, including helping you to lose weight and lowering your blood sugar levels. These both reduce your risk of type 2 diabetes. If you aren't currently active, remember to start slowly and work up to the goal you and your healthcare provider have set.

Manage your stress. During periods of stress the body releases the hormone cortisol into the blood stream, raising blood glucose levels. Therefore, it's important to learn to manage your stress to help you maintain more normal blood sugar levels.

I know what you're thinking, "And just how am I supposed to do that?"

Believe me, I understand. I've been there too!

10 years ago I was 50 pounds overweight (obese by BMI), all my numbers were outa wack, and I heard those scary words from my doctor.

But within 12 months I had turned all that around.

I lost all the extra weight, my numbers were back in the normal range, and I was healthier than I could ever remember being. And I did it all myself.

But believe me, it wasn't easy.

Finding a healthier way to eat. Coming up with an exercise plan I could live with. Getting my stressful life back under control. I wish there had been an easier way.
